edited December 2011 in The Clubhouse
This time of year I like to do a few Karma's. Thanksgiving, and Christmas mean a lot to me. That is why I popped up at this time. The Polk family as a whole is real good group of people. Please express why you are thankful for Club Polk, what you intend to use them in, say in, and pick a number between 1 and 50 only if you could use a set of 4 OPA627 OpAmps mounted on 2 adapters to replace two 2 channel 1 piece OpAmps. The set usually sells for $100 so please only say in if you are going to use these. All entry's must be in by midnight Thursday. I will draw the next day.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Ben
Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks
Ben

    F1nut I don't owe you a thing. If anyone wants to bash me then there is a link in F1nut's post. If anything hasn't been cleared up with me then contact me via email with your name, screen name, and Polk in the subject box. If I don't recognize the sender of an email then I delete it. A few of the members here(well respected) said I shouldn't quit CP, and are still friends with me. One member apologized for saying something that snow balled, put ideas in peoples head, but did not mention on CP what he said had was wrong and he should have not said that. A set of those OpAmps cost $100. I nailed a good deal on some early this year. I don't want to sell anything, buy any "friends", or try and offer some services. I have no transportation, nothing close to ship from except the Post office, and I have to rely on someone to drop stuff off for me. Plain and simple this is just a karma for someone that can use these. If anyone has a problem with it ask Mark to delete the thread. It is good to see newbs still getting helped out, experienced members sharing their experiences, but I am happy with my system, and I have no funds to upgrade anything, and don't really care to. If there is no problem with me giving something away maybe I'll see you guys around Christmas. Anyone who knows me know that Thanksgiving, and Christmas are a big thing to me.

    With all the issues you have apparently had it's good to see a peace offering. I hope this thread doesn't "go south" as many others have.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and all Polkies.

    I don't have a need, but seeing as it Thanksgiving and you are basically giving this Karma 12-18 hours and many people probably won't see it I wouldn't be disappointed if hardly anyone responds.

    Pepster check your email. I have sent you one a while ago, and within the last couple days. I don't know how you want to do the power cable shootout. Let me know if I am shipping to you, or are you still going to do the shootout. If you are going to set up the shootout let me know via email who is getting them first. I think that your cables and the one I made will fit in a flat rate priority box that comes with tracking.
    And happy holidays.

    It's a good thing you chose "not in", the Karma ended 2 hours before you posted !!!!!!
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
