For my 500th post I just wanted to thank all the great guys and gals on this web site. I was drawn into this hobby by the passion and enthusiasm of members here - reading how people feel about their gear and their music made me want to learn more. I want to thank everybody on here for helping me discover this rewarding new interest in my life. But I feel there are some members here who really serve the community well. Their posts in particular were very valuable to me and I imagine to thousands of other newbies as well. Those members are: boomana, this_benjamin, cool_torpedo, krmathis, wmcmanus, skylab, and currawong. I don't think you can go wrong following any of these people's advice. And a special shout out to uncle erik, who gives the most rational advice in this forum. Anyway you guys and everybody else here make my life a lot better. It's been a really tough year and I would have been a lot unhappier without head-fi, so thank you!
