Just a kind word of thanks

This IS a great sanctuary, isn't it?

Over the years I've received great personal help from many forum members, some even in this thread!

I'm such a nuisance, always asking questions!

Tom aka TWL, you are welcome and deserve many more cudos than I am able to express. I am glad to see the helpful members on this site get their just recognition for service above and beyond.

I very seldom post here, but I can assure you, I have visited this site daily since I found it approx. 6 months ago. I still know very little about analog HiFi, but I will keep coming back and learning. Hopefully someday I will be able to give back some of what has been so graciously given to me.

Great thread Quincy! Thank you!

Gosh, I'm glad I spotted this thread before it dropped off the radar! Quincy, you're most welcome, and I'm glad I could be of any assistance. Believe me, I've tapped many of those on Audiogon possessing much more knowledge than myself, and it just feels good to be able to ocassionally pass that spirit foward.

Steve, you sly dog, I didn't know Tom had gotten you into a Teres. I just got the KAB outboard power supply for my 1200, a big improvement. I'm emailing you - since we live close by, we need to have a throwdown sometime soon, so that *you* can teach *me* what a real TT sounds like!

Can't let this thread go any farther without a shout-out to Sean, who has knowledgeably advised so many here, both on- and off-line. And just to prove what a bunch of swells we are around this place, Rcprince is hooking up with me next week to hand-deliver some of his spare power tubes to me all the way from NYC, so's I can borrow them for a while to find out if I should be thinking of switching types - you da man, Russ! (Audiogon is the place!)

0.003 percent of Audiogoner may be snobbish (this much distortion is even acceptable in amps) but the rest 99.997 are not. That is what my experience is here anyway!

This by far is the purist audio community that I have had the previlidge to have been associated with.

Last but not least, I have learnt a lot.

Zaikes, I only wish I had a Teres. But for now, I am still using my Technics 1300. The only upgrade I have made is I bought a Goldring 1042 cart, which I am very happy with BTW. You say we live close, so am waiting for that email. Sorry I won't be able to give you a listen to a Teres, but you are welcome to listen to my Technics, as I have a collection of a few thousand Lp's. Surely I will have something you would enjoy listening too.

I have caviar dreams, but only an Oscar Meyer budget!
