My ears are very grateful to Ray Samuels

Thank you MisterX for my very first headphone amp - the Low-Z Cmoy. May the security officer at JFK Airport enjoy it for many many years!

Thank you Graham Slee for making the Amazing Solo, and to PinkFloyd and Lan for modding it into a monster! Go Pinkie!

Thank you Ray Samuels for the wonderful Best Man gift I got from my friend, the Emmeline SR-71! That thing is a portable beast and will remain with me on the go forever! And it will last forever too!

LONG LIVE DIY, MODDING, and SOLID STATE!

and everyone else that I missed out...


Please accept this message as sincere appreciation for what you guys do best. All of you have faced problems at some point of time or the other just like anybody else in any business. The truth is, without your services, headphone audio will be a lot less interesting with less choice and character.

You are all part of the community and as members we should support you with feedback, constructive criticism and appreciation for your efforts.

Recently things have not been as good as I would have liked but we can change and you will have to change too. Change is the only certainty in a world of uncertainties.

So buckle up for the ride and dont even think of leaving midway...the train goes all the way to the end and all you have to do is join us for the ride

RS xp-7 : my first properly built amp, thanks ray.
prehead: amazing for price, thanks dr meier.
headroom max: even more amazing for price, thanks headroom.

I don't need to dramatise my thanks. They have my money

 

[gilardino]

My sentiments exactly.... without their creativity, risk-taking, knack for knowing what the consumer wants, we'd be listening through the headphone jack of our Sony Walkman.

Thanks Jon of JMT Audio, for building such a great and amazing little amp in your PIMETA portable unit. It's my first headphone amp, and I am now truly in love with this hobby. You've reacquainted me with my music collection!

Also, as Jon requested in another thread somewhere, thanks goes to Tangent for the design that my JMT-built PIMETA is based on.

Thanks also to all you other folks who keep this hobby alive. This has made my home listening/writing experience so much more enjoyable. It's one of the consistantly nice things in my life. Kudos!

Ciao,
