I need to give some thanks to several members here, some long overdue and some recent.

A while back Polk member Bullet21(Tim) sold his LSI 9's and LSI C to me. Shortly after that I was looking for a ping pong table and happened across several on craigslist. Long story short, I found a very nice Kettler table for a crazy good price but distance and time was little problem for me. Tim went and picked up the table, paid for it and kept it for me. Keep in mind, he is a master ping pong player but, he went and paid for the table to keep it for me. I did not have the means of transporting the table to my new place so I meet up with Tim at his place. I checked out some of his audio gear, lots of it, and had a demo. Tim even took the table back to my place. One hell of a guy, awesome.

I went to the Dallas get together and was able to meet fellow audio enthusiasts. I do not remember all names, but it was my first experience with tubes(full credit to Wards Web.) I want to give a public thanks to Gadabout(Scott) for opening up the home and all the others that attended. I missed the BBQ and tried very hard to not consume alcohol.

I met up with Sami several days ago, this weekend actually, to pick up a new computer build. It is not going to be my main computer, but I needed something for the girlfriend to use and leave mine alone. Great entry quad core PC for her to use, and I installed a dual boot system with Ubuntu and Windows 7. She could use the Ubuntu side and use all the Vietnamese websites she desires. I want to give thanks to Sami for all this to happen. I thought I knew a lot about PC's, this guy is clearly on a different platform. Oh, did I mention that he has the car of every rice burners dream? Thanks Sami.

I plan on meeting up with Thsmith(Tracy) if I spelt correctly, and finally experience some SDA's, and head to San Antonio for a taste WardsWebs system.

An example of the great people of Polk Audio. Thank You guys.

    I will let Sami disclose it. I could tell you this. Are you familiar with the Toyota Supra 95 and above, the 300Z even the newest 370, and 3000 gt VR4, all twin tubro's?
    None of the above can touch his stock form. I am talking above the Vette and more along the lines of the 8 liter 10 cylinder Vipers of yester years.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Acura NSX? That's the only import I can think of that's really in a higher league than those. I'm not an import expert by any means though.
