    It's been a while...

    *Door opens with a slow creak, looks around,.*

    It's been far too long since I was active here. So many good people don't seem to be around anymore. Lex, Nick, Dougie... So many names I remember, fewer than I can't recall at the moment. Ovation, Dan, Steve, Jon, Chris, and Bill.

    Especially Bill. From wkhanna I learned important things that transcended audio and material possessions. I may have been just an obnoxious blip on his radar, but he made a difference for me. I'll always owe him for that and I wish the best life has to offer for him.

    Doug (Lex) was a good friend and I spent many hours trading messages and the occasional phone call with him. He helped me out in tough times and was always a sympathetic ear with common sense advice. He deserves to relax a while now, and I wish him as much happiness as he can stand.

    All the others, remembered and those I can't recall right now, have given generously of their time and themselves to help me with various quests for knowledge over many years, and displayed patience, or at least tolerance with/for me when I needed it Not necessarily deserved it, but that's what made this place special. They didn't shun the slow kid, they showed him the way.

    Older, probably not much wiser, but in a place I never foresaw when I joined the 'Guide, I find myself missing what was here. Good people, and more of them, per capita, than any other forum I've seen. Thank you, guys. I hope to be around more regularly going forward, and expressing my gratitude by contributing what little I can.

    See you all soon.

    Glad to see you back, there's some history behind that, with regards to Doug/Lex and how some parts of the forum were handled.

    Sven has been doing a righteous job setting things right and working with some old timers (like me) on re-organizing and helping make access more focused.

    In my own case, retiring has enabled me to spend more time working on projects, and connecting to people, both here and elsewhere. We've got a ways to go, but I think we're headed in the right direction, and as always, we want to maintain a high signal to noise ratio...

      I know this is still kinda old, but here I am again heh, it's been a long time for me as well. Not really sure why, I know originally I had left due to some issues with someone or another but honestly can't even remember now. And I've stopped in from time to time. But then I just kind of stopped all together. I have some tools again though and wanted to build something so of course this is the first place I looked.

          This update from Evil Twin should cover the bases...

          I’m considering building a pair of Natalie P’s, but of course the RS28A is no longer available. Would the RST28A make a suitable replacement or should look for something else?

              Glad to have you back, and hope you enjoy the updated site. Lots of content has been salvaged for images and links to restore them or specify that the image is no longer available. The wealth of information on this forum is incredible. If only there were more time in the day to spend cleaning it up 😂. Anyhow good to see you back and if you have any problems feel free to send a message.

                      Hey all I was randomly telling someone about my home built speakers (Statements Monitors I built like 15 years ago it seems) and thought I'd drop in and say hi.

                                Hello everyone,

                                I just pulled the trigger on a Rotel 1068. Hopefully I will get better sound than what I'm used to. . The processor I am using now (Lexicon DC-1) originally came out in 1996 but I have the latest software upgrade (1999) for DTS and THX. I made the Rotel 1068...

                                Friday night, I stopped by John DeVore's Monkeyhaus event to listen to the prototype speakers that will replace his Super Gibbon 8 speakers. The wood he used is bamboo, and the finish of the speakers in the pic (1 of 3) is called "mink". It looked stunning, and sounded superb. I believe he...

                                I'm trying to find a pre/pro or good receiver to act as a pre/pro. BK50 has been recommended and I've been looking at the HK520, 525, 8000 for a while. I've also read good things about Logic7 on the Lex.
