    Default A Big Thanks To..........

    JESSE


    Not only is HE BAD
    Not only is HE NATIONWIDE

    He is most definetly INTERNATIONAL

    I was having a spot of trouble finding a particular tube type and manufacturer, after commenting to Jesse, he took it upon himself to help and ole F1Nut came through with a huge assist to ensure my two-channel rig will have plenty of bottle power for a very long time. The tubes arrived fresh and very clean after a cart ride all the way from Boris in Bulgaria via the Mars Hotel.

    Boris is a good dude. I have one of his E34L driven tube amps right now. Honestly? It's the best damned tube piece I've heard south of the 2k mark (and its only $980). I call it: Serbian luv'.

    I'm a die hard F1 fan too. I was having a terrible time finding caps to rebuild the x-overs in my Plats, so I asked F1 for recommendations on where to find 'em. A couple of weeks went by and I figured he must have forgotten. Well, I get an e-mail that not only told me the distributors, but a list of the best caps available including prices. Way beyond what I had asked about. Thanks again F1 for being a source we can count on for help when needed. By the way, I still can't find any Millage Gilbert recordings, but I ain't giving up.

    The tube sellers name is not Boris. Ted and I called him that because it was easier than his real name.

    I'd like to thank Jesse for that Sunshine burger. Damn, that was tasty. He's alright in my book, no matter what his neighbors say about him.

    Yeah that's a good point as well. That being if this is going to be posted over at the other forums. It won't. You know what? I don't care either. Why? because the trolls who claim the sheep/herd crap will never get the kind of benefits the sheep do. Ever.

    That right there is all the payback I need to keep me smiling. Oh, and Jesse. Thanks again for your hospitality and your help. The next burger is on me. :D BTW, did I mention that he and he alone hooked me up with some Ei 12ax7 gold pins? Schweeeeet! The trolls would have never thought of doing something so nice for a fellow member. Oh well. Guess I'd rather be a sheep than a troll. The benefits are much better.

    Tom, it was my pleasure and you're welcome anytime. For those that don't know it, Tom has a damn good set of ears on that smooth head of his. I'll definitely take you up on the burger offer. :)

    Skip.....you're right, I did forget. Again, I'm sorry about that. Are they singing sweet nothings to you again?



    You guys bring up a good point, one which some folks just don't get. Club Polk is not just your average audio internet forum. It's not just a place we can share our hobby or simply BS about life, it's where friendships are made and I consider myself blessed to have made friends with so many of you.

    The benefits of membership are awesome, indeed!

    Rock on Jesse, you helped me many times over the years. Jesse was also the first Polkie to respon to my first post four years ago. You never forget those things.

    I do do have a small wood project I'll be talking with you about in the next couple weeks. I need a wood box for my Hagerman tube phono preamp. Your advice and help is welcome.
