Great experience with audio society and local tech

@hilde45

great reminder that the wonderful part of all hobbies such as this is that if we are fortunate, we meet good people with shared passions, kindred spirits on a shared journey, and make friends as a result

here on this forum, it's also good to remember that there is always a person behind the username, and even though it is an anonymous forum, over time, one can tell who are the people that are worth knowing ’in real life’, in person, so to speak... others, not so much

@pmm  I don't feel at liberty to broadcast the tech's name. Anyone who wishes can message me. 

@jjss49 True enough. 

@hilde45 "I don't feel at liberty to broadcast the tech's name"

I understand. Best regards

I feel very fortunate to have been introduced by my 55-year-in-business local audio dealer to a group of audio society folks and a few good techs in my area.  

The introductions came about over time and NOT introduced as business transactions. It was more about meeting good caring people first.  

From there new doors opened, learning more about mods, upgrades, and huge collections of gear, tubes, more than I ever imagined possible. With a little patience, kindness, and respect these type of folks will share their knowledge and skills with you. Ultimately they will decide to choose you, or send you down the road if you're a prima donna.  

Much wisdom in the thread :-) givers thrive
