Hard for me to believe, but I've been on CP for a year! I still feel like a newbie! :smile:

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has helped me along this wonderful journey. Long road ahead, but I'm in good company. I've also made some great friends along the way!

To celebrate, I am offering as Karma, a BNIB shipped, Essence HDACC.

Lots of rave reviews on this baby, but I went a different route (Northstar Intenso), so it's time to pass it along.

As always, pick a number from 1-100, random number to be drawn Saturday night.

Thanks again everyone! Happy Karma!

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I really shouldn't take up a slot in this superb karma -- but I will :|
    In, please, with 87. The one problem with the Bryston karma I received some while back (which is otherwise very nice) is a congenitally defective USB interfact.
    So I am not be quite as ridiculous as it might seem to be "in" for this. Not quite, albeit close :/

    Irrespective of my drivel, thanks -- excellent karma.
    Oh, and happy anniversary, too.

    Dave.

    Happy 1st Anniversary my friend!

    I think you'll pass me too next year but that just means you're a very valued member here for sure who does more than lurk. I feel I know you like an old friend already.

    I'm glad you're here.

    This forum sure has helped you spend a lot of coins this past year hasn't it?

    I think you'll slow down a bit since you have quite the high end systems now to start enjoying more next year. B)


    I know you haven't broken the record but to own a set of the BIG BOY POLKs within your first year of being on the forum is a major accomplishment that even I haven't accomplished since I joined a long time ago.

    I hope you stay for many more decades! ;)

    Tony M

    Oh...I'm in with 11.

    I think I can figure out how to use that thing somewhere in my many systems. B)

    Wow, I see why you're getting the great karma comments. Because it is!! :o:)B)

    I just went and looked at what it does and I'm impressed!! It could just be the device to yank me into the digital age! :D

    Great Karma Dave!
