Long time member frequent if not daily follower on the site, I don't post much cause I don't consider myself anywhere near the audiophile caliber the rest of you guys are, so I just absorb as much info from you guys my sponge brain can hold. I just found out my oldest daughter is having a baby. Considering she had health issues that should have prevented her from becoming pregnant this is a blessing. We are extremely excited to say the least. On a tangent here, I am going to pull a shameless plug. My wife threw a baby shower for her this past Sunday, and there is a contest that she has entered. She could use some help with some votes if you guys have facebook and wouldn't mind taking a few minutes to help us out by voting. The link is PARTYPAIL, INC you will go to the contest site that are below. One is a story, (Bazooples Thanksgiving Baby Shower) you hit that and it will allow you to vote. Make sure the vote goes through. The other one is the photo, search for Maria and you will find Rochester under it so you know it's the correct one, it will bring up her photos. O tjoml there is 5 or 6 photos on the bottom that you can vote for. Again if you could go to it and hit vote. The links are below, thank you so much for your time, if I win powerball I'll pay each voter $10k lol..... what we do for waf huh? Thanks so much for all your help guys.

    Congratulations. I'm getting close to that age myself, but as very young baby boomer, I'd like to put off the Grandpa status a few more years. lol Not that I won't be delighted when it happens. But hey, I barely look 49, let alone my real age.

    YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME!, This is testament to the quality of people on this forum, and the reason I've been reading posts almost everyday for four years since I found this place. Thankyou to everyone, and congrats to the new grandma's and grandpa's. I saw the cutest lttle girl at my dealership yesterday, and boy did emotions choke me up when all the memories of my girls started flashing back. So, I can't wait for my granddaughter !
    Thanks again everyone, not only for the well wishes, but for the advice and knowledge that is helping me on my road to audio satisfaction. Maybe someday I'll have a system that will compare to some of you guys
