You left out the time increment it takes for any such thread to turn ugly is so fast it cannot be measured. :cool: -

I learned that electronics is more addictive than crack

I learned how to "hot swap" tubes,, met some of the finest folks you've ever meet,,,and the vinyl road goes on forever.JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

1. There is no good enough 2. I will always be looking for the next deal. 3 Craigslist is not wallet friendly.
-
Sal is this anything like BiffCo Enterprises.
Here's my list.
1. There is never enough time or money that you can spend on audio.
2. There really is a bottomless pit.
3. Jesse may be a DayWalker, but he's a kick in the butt to talk to.
4. Face gives the shortest to the point non BS answers Period!
5. Never take part in a thread about cables, IC's, amps, money, real estate, education, black paint (why is the thread still alive ) etc..
6. You guys make me spend money faster than an oval eyed honey in Saigon.
7. SDA's flat out rule.“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ~ Mark Twain -
I've learned that I need a higher paying job. Or I need to win the lottery one.:biggrin:

I've learned that Roger Russell is..........wait a minute.
What did I learn about him again?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
I've seen the audio landscape through Club Polk members. And, I've learned what I can afford and targeted some of the best-buy new and used equipment.
Like Polk speakers, this forum serves a range of wealth. That diversity has made it a great place to learn.
So, this place has helped me save cash and avoid a money pit.Marantz DV4001 CD and DVD

Some of the best folks you'll ever want to meet hang out here.
Club Polk has also taught me when to keep my mouth shut. In my own defense, the wife tells me all the time I have a hearing problem.....can't seem to sell that one over the internet though.
Oh yeah...drinking and posting is a no no too.HT SYSTEM-

What have I learned? That you people will argue about anything.Expert Moron Extraordinaire
You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you! -
i have learned that i need to learn a lot more.
that the members of the forum take care of each other and are a great group of people that seems to be of another time of mankind (in the good sense) in which we help each other, and believe in ethics and ask for prayers and share our problems to get comfort to get through adverse situations.
that the club is about more than audio, but audio is the blood that keep it running.

1) I'm not the only one with a serious condition.
2) There are others out their like me.
3) I'll never be completely happy with what I own.
4) Grown men can insult each other over audio.
5) Of a good friend across the state.
6) Older polk speakers are important to others
7) polk also got other people into audio
8) Some will never "get it".
9) How to post a pic on a forum.
10) That the polk forum is a great place to come and talk to a bunch of audio / videophiles with a wealth of knowledge and experience which we all can share with each other.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time.
