Fellow Polk appreciation/recognition thread

BIZILL

Hey all, I wanted to start a thread to show our appreciation for follow Club Polk forum members. Not every act of goodness warrants its own thread, so this can be a place to post up some thoughts of appreciation for others that may otherwise go unspoken.

allow me to start... i'd love to personally send thanks over to Cody (exalted512) for his recent aid with precise instructions on how to install a top of the line alarm system in my vehicle. he took time out of his schedule which has been very busy with buying a house and all to help me out tremendously. he sent pics and instructions and we spoke over the phone from time to time. i could not have done this without him. (the only thing that could have been better is if HE could have driven here to do the entire thing for me.):D

in the end he saved me over $350 that best buy wanted to charge me (well-deserved price point) for the install. it's polkies like Cody that make this place worth spending time. polkies helping polkies. i like that.

THANK YOU CODY!!!:)

Just a blanket thank you to all of you guys that have informed me about the what-I-have's and how-do-I-use-this's...

Great community; thanks guys!

Thanks to CP for taking my HT experience to another level. Big thanks to Grimster as he helped me with ideas and much input in desiging my HT room. I must have asked the guy over a thousand questions when doing the project.

I would like to thank TonyMillard for his words of wisdom, and for giving me a great deal on his pair of Boston VR-M60s. I know he's given great deals to others as well!

I'd like to thank the veterans that pre-date me for hanging in there and having the patience to answer the same questions probably hundreds of times. When I joined, I had already been an audiophile for over 30 years, I figured I wouldn't learn anything new, I was wrong. Some that stand out:

F1Nut
Russman
Doro
Troy
George Grand (of the Jersey Grands)
Madmax
Ricardo
HTRookie
RonP
Shack daddy
Trey (aka Sidward)
Dr. Spec (aka The Subwoofer Guru)
Sean
Gidrah (ski to me)
the guy who did the SDA upgrade guides..errr, ummm....damn

...and I'm certain I'm forgetting a ton more, to those my apologies--but you know who you are. Thanks for sharing the illness that is hi-fi.

BIZILL

GREAT, folks! let's keep this thread open-ended and alive.

I hold F1Nut and GV#27 responsible for fueling my illness more than anyone else.

Cool; I get recognized twice

Too many names. They are all responsible for my wallet being lighter, so I won't mention them because I hate them.

The best thing I have received from this forum is some real good friends. Joe was my first real friend, and we still talk regularly. Then I moved to GA and met a newb named Jerry. We are real tight. Mr George Daniels has helped me through some pretty tough times. Those three are like brothers. Now there is a whole bunch of ya like cousins, and drunk uncles. F1nut has put up with a whole bunch of stupid questions from me when I joined, and guided me along the way. Then there is Ken. I'll just call him daddy. The engineering department(including MP) has gone way above and beyond giving me a huge education on the functional design of SDA's. Now that I have gone into electronics my friend Fred has taught me so much. I just can't express the gratitude I have for these gentlemen. There are well over 100 Polkies that I have talked to on the phone over these few years. Out of the whole lot of Polkies on the forum I can say there is only 2 people that I really wouldn't care if their names ever popped up on here again.

Well that covers all the guys. There is one very special lady here who has a special place in my heart. I had been very rude about women at the time(divorce from hell), and people in her profession. She sent me a PM saying that she might even feel the way I did in my shoes. Well that had hit me real hard, and took a black spot off my heart. Thanks.

This whole experience has been really good except that I used to be very happy with my 80's JVC receiver, and Infinity speakers. Now I am in way deep in this nightmare called audio. I feel guilty a lot. If I had spent one tenth of the time helping others that need real world help I would be a much better person.

I would like to thank EVERYONE for welcoming me to the forum and sharing their knowledge, and also i would like to thank Polk for providing us with the forum and great audio gear

At least my consistency was dead-on....LOL

DARK KNIGHT, that's who I forgot. Props brotha. He is one crazy-intelligent audiophile from whom I have learned alot.

steve,

I have had sex with most on that list of yours, the exception would be brett and danger, which somehow seems right, but two good members to mention...........

I gotta a good DK story about a salad I might share sometime..............

damm, I forgot Big Lou, ohskigod, have not seem him around lately.........that guy has helped me along in a very large way twice.

skunk beer works on him everytime, I know he has taken a long break, but no doubt for many years RuSsman and Doro were the heart and soul of CP of course F1 and Doro went steady for a while and still "go" places from time to time.

But things change and we have some good new guys as well, still nothing beats a reach around from BDT.

I'd like to thank the folks here who have have helped me along in my audio journey. Russ (lightman) for turning me on to my FIRST set of sda's, Rodney (rodeo) for coaching me through pm's on how to do something on the computer. Keiko, wutadum, f1, toolforlife, there's too many fine folks who have helped me out here to list. For those I haven't listed you know who you are and a big thanks to ALL of you.

In Russmans defense, I am hung like a hampster, so I understand his fear.

YES, that reminds me, though i've thanked him before, i want to re-thank Wes (I-SIG) for turning me onto a set of sda's. he's just a kick-**** type of guy in general too. someone i really would trust for just about anything.

What kind of jam?

steveinaz

Let me add Mantis as well. Good guy and always helpful, I like Dan. Also Ken Swauger (sp?). Ken, Madmax, Gidrah, and George Grand are the "old school" audiophiles who get into the classic audio equipment, very cool. These guys are into audio on a whole different level; they don't love "brands," they love hi-fi.

Retro152

In my short time on the Forum, i give credit to alot of members here for helping me build and tweak my setup, through reading their posts or via PM. Metal83, (miss ya man.) TOOLFORLIFEFAN, Comfortably Curt, Leroyjr1, Cnh, Dane Peterson, nooshinjohn, Mantis, To name a few. Great info as always from reading all posts from you very "Senior" members also, LOL j/k.:D Thanks for all the help.:)

If I tried to list all the Polk members who have helped me, or become my friend through this Forum, I wouldn't know where to start. So many good people here, many of whom I've been able to shake their hand share some company with great music, food, laughs, tears or just talking audio.

But I have to admit, I've grown awful fond of this beast:

The Kraken!

BeRad

I'm sure I have leaned something from almost every active member on this board. I don't post a ton, but do read A LOT!!!

So I'll throw out a big thanks to all the CP members for the bucket-loads of information and hours of entertainment I have gained since I have started frequenting this site.

Def. thanks to Keiko for the occasional servings of delicious pie.

Also I'll shout out another thank you to Lasareath. When I first started on here and got my RTi system set up, he offered up a very nice DVD demo disc and shipped it to me for free to test out/show off my system. It was, and still is, very much appreciated.

wutadumsn23

Np Dan, glad I could help you. I would like to thank the good people of Club Polk for helping me with pretty much every decision I have ever made regarding my HT. Someday I hope to get into 2 chan. and there are a lot of people who will be hearing from me, lol. Wow, how ironic this is my 1,000th post and it took me just about a year to the day, I'm a Polkhead now lol. Thanks again guys, the help has been invaluable.

You're all STILL a bunch of hacks!.....but I would like to thank all of you who have helped me learn more and still learn from. Made some great friends here. That's the best part of it.
Russ

Very true Russ, best part is the friends we make along the way. That was so sweet I think I just got a cavity, who ever said Russ doesn't have feelings, lol.
