^ T_T head-fi needs you Ds. Despite that your statement regarding "Headfi was here before me and Headfi will be here after me" holds true for all of us, it would be a great loss to this forum/ community if you are not able to continue to do what you do now.  Head-fi is not gonna be the same for sure without you passionately overseeing these wonderful threads of yours. Petition anyone??? We need to show our love/ support for the Nut-man as he has so passionately poured into these threads. I don't want to force the issue, but................ head-fi should seriously consider getting Ds on board.

Long Live The King!!!  I wish you the best man. Me and my ears love you bro (although my pockets hate you lol).

Wow, just coming back from the hiatus and a disheartening message pops up. I agree with Danny, there will be a fantastic future ahead of you. It will just take some time, but hey, even if it is little by little, everything works out in the end. I still remember how you eradicated the silly stigma that cheapo headphones contained in headfi. It is a good thing people like cash, alberto1, danny, eric, sfw and the rest understand what a good headphone is, no matter what value. While cheap headphones can not beat some decent mid-fi headphones, it can definitely match or triumph most mid headphones. People have to be open minded, and hopefully all of us in headfi will stay open minded.

Hi Ds! Danny's got it right, things will work out fine for you. And once things get settled, you might not be able to spend quite as much time as in the past helping us here at head-fi (though we can always hope!), but you will be back to help nonetheless. I for one would like to thank you for your contributions. As corny as it may sound, I have received a lot of satisfaction here at head-fi over the last while, and you are responsible for a huge part of that, and you are responsible for a huge amount of auditory satisfaction due to the great gear that you have very persausively recommended lol. So thanks again, and I my thoughts are with you as you go through this transition period. Cheers my friend!

If you aren't making big bucks, Dsnuts is Head-Fi. He's the reason I got my 8320s and HA-S500s, and the way his menatility towards audiophilia rubbed off on me is the reason that I looked for my Uptowns, DBis, Jaycars, Arcatron, FiiO, Somics and basically everything else I have. This guy's the voice of reason and frugality in a cavalcade of extravagance. His contributions and the effect on my outlook that they created are the reason why I can know that despite my meager income, I have a pretty awesome rig.
 
That's not taking it too far at all.

Best of luck with whatever comes next, Dsnuts. Thank you very much for the many contributions you have given to making good sound possible for everyone, not just a select few.

Oh boy !   ...now I feel guilty for making him "walk the plank" earlier !    ...if only I had knew about his situation,  ... wouldn't have start all that pirate folly which in retrospect seems so insensitive. redfaced apologies, bro Dsnut.
 
Changing my Avatar to "please forgive me" in honor too, in addition, will withhold posting reviews of the CKN70 for the next few days as well.

I suppose this is a good time as any to tell you guys a little news regarding my situation. When I mentioned I would be getting the Meridian explorer and the CKN70 and take a break for a while. It is beacuse of what is happening to my business.
 
After roughtly 15 years of doing business at my location. The real reason why I was so active on these threads was because I had so much down time. I have seen my humble little business through the good times and bad and like all good things that have a beginning it also has an ending.. At the end of this month because of the different direction of the parent company I work for I will no longer have a job. I can continue with another product but I feel I need a change in my life so I will sell off whatever I have at my shop and that will be it for me. This will also mean.. No more spending on phones or audio gears for me for a while. I have to save every dollar I have in order to survive whatever that I will be getting into next.. I haven't been jobless for so long I forgot what it is like to be looking for work.. Truth be told what I would really like to do is be involved with headfi and the audio industry but this is just wishful thinking.  I have some really great ideas about how the industry can grow and such but they are just ideas. 
 
As much as I would like to be trying out new gears and reporting to you guys as much as possible. Because of the reality of my situation. All my funds and attention will be going toward what I will do for the next 15 years.. I will not abandon my threads and you guys but my time here at headfi will be limited..Most guys have down time when they get home. For me my down time was at my work.. The business was slowing down with the downturn of the economy and I have seen many businesses around my area close down for good..I knew I was never going to retire doing what I do but I did the best I could with what I have. Now it is time to move on for me.
 
I will try to be on as much as possible and I hope to continue the threads as best as I can but my future is very uncertain..It does sadden me quite a bit to think I will no longer be able to do what I am good at on these threads but at the same time I know you guys will do well in carrying on without my input.. Headfi was here before me and Headfi will be here after me. I feel I had made some life long friendships with some of the other headfiers that understand my position and to those guys I like to thank. To all the guys have helped me and followed my lead in discovering stuff that otherwise would have never gotten an audience. To you guys I would like to thank. You guys that read these threads and give your support to this site it has been so much fun.. Thank you all..
 

 

 
I hope we'll still see you from time to time, and good luck with what ever path you decide to take.
Even though I don't post/comment much, your recommendations and opinions influenced a lot of my headphone purchase, so thank you for that.

You've been an inspiration D' for all of us! As a matter of fact, this thread got me into this hobby. You made me realize one can still be an audiophile even if his pockets aren't deep. So thank you and all the best!

 

[ericp10]

I admit to being skeptical about you initially Dnuts, but as I've gotten to know you, you have been as good as gold. You've been really generous with me in the exchange of ideas and information about various products. I wish you all the best and don't be a stranger. Things will get better, and quickly. I'll believe this for you.
