This topic might seem strange, but let me explain...
I recieved a singlepower ppx3 amp a few weeks ago from a fellow headfi'er. After speaking with various members here (SACD Lover, Grand Enigma1, Mikhail, a few others as well) i found a setup for me. Everything from tubes to cabling, everything i needed based on many conversations. This is completly out of the kindness headfiers expressed towards their fellow hobbyist, they just want to help me out. This is rare since alot of places usually people are looking out for themselves and aren't willing to just share and help so much. It's really an honor to be on a site where people just want to help you out and point you in a direction only motivated by their enthusiasm for the hobby and desire to help you...
I had a problem recently where i recieved these adapters for 6sn7->5687 tubes... I was being careless and just pushed the thing into the amp wrong and the damn thing snapped! I was almost going to crap myself... Now i realize how fragile these things are...
Anyhow, i foundout that these adapters can be fixed with some sort of adapter from earl, and i felt rest assured... Later after calling mikhail up, the guy spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone attempting to help me make the connector work and see if it's still in fact usable. The only reason being is that he is willing to ship me a brand new one, and no additional charge!! This was broken by my own fault, and he is willing to replace this thing for free (not a cheap part either!!).
I'm just floored by the kindness of others on this site, and those those post might seem pretty dumb i just wanted to express that i honestly feel i'm amongst friends and family on this site, and i'm really thankful to be amongst such good people.
Happy new year everyone!
