I sent Nico an amp...he lives in Holland, I live in the US. I sent the amp over to him but it became damaged in the process.

I gave him a refund of some money for repair, but after he repaired the amp, he refunded me the difference! Incredible! Anyhow, Nico is a great guy to deal with and I highly recommend doing business with him here!

nico has been holding on to one amp for me for a couple of months.

then out of the blue he pm me to let me know he has two amps i need.

holds them for me while fighting off the piranas and finally offers me to

have the brought back by a forum member that is up there at the end of

the month. If this member cant bring them back he agreed to give me back a full refund... now that is awsome.(shipping to hawaii was way too much )

he is honest and sends pics on demand. kept me on the back burner

and i respect that in a person.

i am looking forward for my amps and i reccommend him to anyone

my only thing is i wish i could find him a ms1000 since he needs one.

thanks nico

I had the pleasure of doing business with Nico recently, and I feel that I must post about the experience here for all to see and use as a personal reference for this fine person.

Nico recently bought a MS-2250TA from NW3. It had a small issue, so without even knowing me in person Nico Pm'ed me and arranged shipment of the amp to me for some service to resolve the issue it had.
Now please bear in mind that Nico lives in the Netherlands in Europe, and I live in the bay area of San Francisco, about half way around the world from him.
So now you see the dynamics of this business situation, I just wanted to say that the entire operation went smooth as silk. Nico paid quickly and as discussed and without issue. And considering that the amp was not received by him for almost a month as it was hand carried from Canada by Tom to be delivered to him. He was "outstanding" though out the whole business transaction.
All in all one of the most memorable and gratifying operations I have ever had the pleasure to involved in. " Thank you Nico " for a wonderful experience that resides in my hall of fame and my memory as "One of the Best ever" :D

I bought ZX 450 and MPS 2500 amps from Nico. Amplifiers were just as described (like new!) and Nico did excelent job with packings. That big box would take serious handling (or accidents) without any damage.

Our whole process took time but this seller was very patient. I couldn't be happier at the moment. Thank you one more time!

I bought a grey MS2125 from him last weekend.
As promised this amp was in really mint(like new!!) state, caps replaced and cleaned. I have listened to this amp on his home setup and it sounds very good!! This person is amazingly skilled and meticulous in every things he does.
It was a great experience to meet him and to talk about amps and caraudio for a whole afternoon. I give him another MS2125 i have to also change caps + a few more things... .
I also leave him for his own pleasure to test on his home setup an Esoteric Audio amp (E7056(6*50w)). I guess I gonna have feedback about soon.

Thanks for all Nico. :wink: and like 1moreamp says (i didn't find better) "Thank you Nico" for a wonderful experience that resides in my hall of fame and my memory as "One of the Best ever". :lol:

Nico is a true gent and a real assett to PP.

I sold him an MS2125, he was very patient with me as I was faffing about due to not having my own camera (since bought one so no worries now).

But it doesn't end there.

After seeing it linked to on here, I was after the Outlaw for sale in the Netherlands on Marktplaas. I asked Nico if he could contact the seller and find out if it was still available etc. He did, and the guy was an old friend from way back. Nico passed on his email address and I struck up a deal, but sadly the seller didn't have a PayPal account.

Step forward Nico.

He very kindly offered to take payment from me and pass it on. What a star.

Thank you Nico for all your help.

thanks

I want to recommend Nico to you as a very reliable and honest PG seller. More than that, he is a real fan of MS-amp's quality. He is not only selling these rare amps, but also restores them, cleaning, replacing caps, silpads and other parts that needs replacement. After leaving his hands, an amplifier will be ready for many years of continuous using.
Nico has sold me a rare unique MS2125 amplifier. Our deal was really the memorable one! I live in Russia, he lives in Holland. There were so many troubles with this deal. Another would just say NO, and this unconvenient deal would been cancelled. And I wouldn't be the owner of such a unique amplifier. But Nico have gone through all the hardships for a person he didn't even know. He just did his best.
Furthermore, he provided an extraordinary safeness of the amp while its shipping to my country. The package he made is just uncompromissing!
The amp I have now is a rare unique rev.B MS2125, famous for its selected components. It is in a perfect technical condition, it looks like a brand new amplifier. And I want to thank Nico again for all his efforts.

Nico, you are a great man, the one of a kind! It was a pleasure for me to deal with you. I hope, I will be able to do it once more soon.

And if somebody is interested in info about our memorable deal, here is the thread for the story about it, that I posted:

If you will ever have an opportunity to deal with Nico, you won't regret. And I am sure, one more kind review will appear in this topic after that.

Here to testify that working w/ Nico is always a pleasure!!!
there is no one that is more appreciative of the older skool MS than he and i (present company excluded), but once again to add to his collection a quick payment for the MPS-2500.

Enjoy working with Nico, and no one else deserves a good, honest clean, head-ache free transaction as much as he does right now.

Thanks for the sale, hope you enjoy Nico!
