purge with caution
Hi,
I’d have two comments on non-active users:
It is probably reasonable to purge some of the old users who haven’t logged in for a loooong while: For example, I couldn’t make much out of the PM I have quoted bellow; probably it is not coming from a user with a well established history. These are however very rare (was the only one such case as a matter of fact).
Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?
"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

On the other hand there are probably many users like myself, who regularly read posts but have no relevant information or not particularly - I do not know the English word – ‘graphoman’ (somebody who likes to write more then others).
I would - for instance - love to participate events and to bring along my newly acquired gadgets (e.g. new passive preamp) but it is somewhat cumbersome given the distance and the administrative barriers. I’d love to tell my subjective view on electronics, but I cook mostly with local ingredients because of availability and price which makes comparison difficult.
But I keep reading and must say that I did already have lots of ideas, inspiration and reassurance reading the posts on placement, room treatment and a number of other subjects, not to mention the reports on the new CLX. (For next year, the Munich show is registered in my calendar; at least that’s within a reasonable distance - 450 miles - probably next door with US standards). I also had very friendly and valuable comments when I made a few posts some times ago. My thanks and :bowdown: to JonFo, for example.
As for myself, evolution is a time consuming process; I have room treatment, a new DAC in short term plans (within a year) and new amplifier, may be new bass drivers as longer term plans for my beloved Monolith IIIx.
But given the pace of life I live (roughly 2 jobs + family) I hardly have time for any. When I will advance, I’d be more then happy to share my xp with the community.
Just to show You, I have attached the new passive preamp and ICs:
These have no brand name yet, I just hope that the two guys who made it (and are into some more goodies) will one day be able to market their ideas and gears. However, You won’t get far with me posting this because I do not exactly know what lives inside and I cannot take it apart to show You; an agreement with the designer. Another example is the home made IC cable. It is fairly simple but again, I’m not fully aware why it sounds so good. (It is a thin silver cable with some treatment). Suffice to say that I have sold my AudioNote AN-V silver IC’s as these have beaten the crabs out of them. Again, hope one that one day these will hit the market as well.
So sorry for the long post, swinging in all directions, but I’d just like to say; if you purge, please do it with caution. I’m sure that there are other members in similar situation who might one day make some interesting or may be even valuable contribution. Thanks.
