I have decided in the Christmas spirit to give away two $50.00 cash Karmas all you need to do is say your in and what audio related item/s you are going to spend the moolah on and the cash Karma is yours if you are chosen as one of the lucky winners. It will be gaven either via PayPal or USPS money order the winners choice. The reasons I chose cash rather than audio items to give away is not everyone needs what I have to give away and some may actually need the money for bills etc.

You dont have to spend it on audio items if you truly are in need of Christmas $$ :)

Your post needs to be in by Dec 24th at midnight or sooner, the Winners will be announced Christmas day.



REGARDS SNOW
Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Hi Ted well there is good news and bad news concerning the amp I am sending you. The bad news is that my main amp is still in the shop awaiting repair and will not be fixed at the earliest till after new years. Damn this tech is slow but he is good and the only game in town here. He has had one of my amps a Proton AA- 2120 for over a year now :eek:

    This one should be a easy relativley fast repair though. The good news is that I will send yours as soon as I get this one back :)

    I'm sure others need the help much more than I do, so it wouldn't seem fair to me, but a really nice gesture on your part, so thank you for that already.
