    Ben is very knowledgable and extremely talented,I can't recall him every turning someone down if need of help.I know that he has built some custom AI-1's,,SDA cables and interconnects for alot of Polkies,,so if Ben has ever done anything for you that made your audio life easier,or built you a custom product, now might be a good time to let him know just how much you appreciate him.
    Thank Ben,, for all you do,,, and No,, I do not have any 12AU7's,,LOL ;)
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    OK here you go
    I asked Ben about buying two sets of his IC's, one pair about six feet and one pair about three feet. Instead of telling me he'll make up the two pair and charge me whatever he say to PM a fellow Polkie because he is going to sell his six footers. How great is that? A win win for the polkie with the six footers he didn't need and me but not much for Ben other than doing the right thing which does not happen enough these days. I am not an **** kisser but Ben is a great guy and a friend of mine even though I have not met him YET.

    There are a bunch of real good people here at CP. Now if we could get some of the children to understand it is more of a family than just another forum;) What I have put into CP is a drop in the bucket compared to what others have done.
    I would make a list of people that helped me out, but it would be more like a novel than a list.
    Thanks guys.
