Thanksgiving to THOMAS EDISON

From what I understand, this guy is largely responsible for our great hobby!! Invented the phonograph and the vacuum tube amplifier. Lightbulb?? So what. TOM - the first audiophile!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all who devote their lives to our wonderful hobby!!!

Yes, I know Tesla was basically ACs creator, but wasn't it Westinghouse who won the AC/DC war in this country (against Edison) and made AC the standard here? I'm pretty sure that was the story. I'll double check later.

I never liked AC/DC very much but they had a lot of energy.

I once lived in Washington and my stereo would not play, then it dawned on me, Washington is DC.

Tesla made many contributions, yet goes widely unrecognized.
