Thank you Ifor, if the other 2039 members would do the same we might stand a chance  ------------- That none should be able to buy or sell without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps |

Oh... Nice idea. By my calculations GSP loan scheme has taken an early lead... I'll wait until a few more nominations are in before casting mine, don't want it to look like Eurovision style voting!!  ------------- Dave Michell Gorbe + HR PSU -> Cadenza Bronze -> SME V -> Elevator -> Accession -> Proprius -> B&W CM6 s2 | Cusat 50 & Spatia cables ->

After I also nominated, I noticed that there are people questioning our validity. Quite disappointing that we are being criticised just because we have discovered a small British company trying to offer a unique service and outstanding customer interaction. At least one person realises our true intentions: "....What's wrong with a few enthusiastic owners bigging up a product they love." ------------- Older than I once was, younger than I'll be .............................

We are real people buying real hi-fi from a real hi-fi company, not a made up brand based on marketing guff! ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |

TBH I'm not surprised a few were suspicious of a flurry of new members. I wasn't really expecting that, but thought my post might pique the interest of Greg (mitch65) and ellisdj who I know to be regulars in both places. ------------- Ifor ===== Reflex M & ACCESSION M, CuSat50, Majestic DAC, a Proprius pair. |

Thank you for the welcome. Well nor would I. It's just a phone. And whilst I applaud the GS loan scheme wholeheartedly (more people should do it), I think it's a bit of a niche service for it to get any traction in the voting. Nice try though :-)

Only to be expected really. At least a few people, including the moderators, one of whom actually bothered to check this place out, took a less cynical view. ------------- Dave Michell Gorbe + HR PSU -> Cadenza Bronze -> SME V -> Elevator -> Accession -> Proprius -> B&W CM6 s2 | Cusat 50 & Spatia cables ->

That's why I only usually bother with a few forums. WHFS&V **not** being one of them.

I agree about the uncalled for nastiness but as with James, I personally avoid them. Their 5* review of GSP kit introduced me to my Novo in the first place, but every other product I've bought of their 5* list turned out to be rubbish when I knew what I was looking for. While I understand what the sudden influx of new users and votes could look like, if their rude and uninformed but overly opinionated users (like every other internet troll) are too stupid to work out that (1) Graham was being funny, (2) no one would spam there AND here to brag about it as multiple users, and (3) their behavior has more to do with the Lord of the Flies than HiFi, then their praise isn't good enough for GSP anyway in my book! Apple will win as usual due to the supposed status that comes with the products, not because they are truly outstanding... Rant over.

If it's done nothing else the nominations for the Loan Scheme have raised it's profile, and for every sourpuss dissing it there'll be many more now aware of it, possibly with their curiosity piqued enough to try it out. ------------- Bob Majestic DAC/pre-amp Accession MC/Enigma, Accession MM, Reflex M, Elevator EXP, Era Gold V Solo ULDE, Novo, Lautus USB and digital, Libran balanced, CuSat50 2 x Proprius + Spatia/Spatia Links |

I just meant that in my eyes, not all publicity is good. When it is tied up with negativity (as in the current WHF case) it may put people off more than intrigue them. But that's just my opinion, I'll shut up now.
