In the spirit of LTUCCI's recent gesture of kindness, I've decided to keep that same spirit alive.
Though I may not be a prolific poster, I am very appreciative of the members at head-fi who have nurtured my journey. There have been so many times on head-fi when people have gone beyond what anyone would have had a right to expect, who gave selflessly of their time, who trusted me in innumerable transactions that have gone flawlessly. It just seemed fitting for me to do something tangible to repay, perhaps symbolically, those acts of kindness. To that end, I would like to donate a mint Musical Fidelity X-DAC v3 to some deserving head-fi'er.
I first thought of a puzzle, or a contest. And then, yesterday, a thread appeared in this forum about academic honesty. Frankly, I could not believe how cavalierly some head-fi'ers treated what I believed to be an important issue of honesty. And that gave me an idea.
I am looking for someone who, in his/her time on head-fi, has exhibited the highest ideals of integrity and ethical behavior and who would genuinely profit from the the MF DAC. Here are the rules.
1. You may not nominate yourself; rather, someone must nominate you.
2. As just indicated, I am looking for nominees who have exhibited exemplary honesty/integrity/trustworthiness in matters relating to their membership on head-fi. The more demonstrable/provable those traits are in your nominee, the more credibility the story will have, and the greater the nominee's chances for success. For example, assume that you nominate a head-fi'er who has pre-existing feedback in the feedback forum indicating that he/she is a person of great integrity (along with the reasons why), that would be a compelling submission. (Instances of a head-fi'er acting with integrity might also come up in other sections of head-fi as well). Conversely, a story that is difficult to verify would be a weaker nomination.
3. If that same person seemed also to have only a modest stash of head-fi gear, the nomination would be even stronger.
4. Entries will be taken from now until Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. CST. I reserve the right to cut it off early or extend it depending upon the quantity/quality of submissions.
5. Please post (v. pm) all nominations, indicating why you think the nominee is worthy.
6. My decision is final.
7. I will pay for all shipping charges.
Let the nominations begin!
