    How about this? You should stay in the karma and if you win, verb gets to keep it.

    So when I joined CP last year, the below components were my system (stock images):

    Polk SDA-2B's (tucked in each corner of the room!) Always was a Polk fan.
    wlr4bzv866kb.png
    Pioneer SX-V500 (80wpc, can you say amplifier clipping? Loudness button always on!)
    mezprzy1xm90.png
    BSR EQ-3000 equalizer (purchased from DAK industries)
    kb2qlhpjodhg.png
    Pioneer PD-F506 25-disc CD changer
    srkqn747oapw.png
    I did eventually get an SAE A205 Amp, and used the Pioneer as a pre, and for many years was a happy camper.

    Until I landed here. I didn't know what I was missing! Now, well, I'm way into my journey, and having a lot of fun! And enlightenment! Thanks to everyone who have helped and encouraged (enabled) me along the way.

    Yes shameless bump! Plenty of numbers left for tomorrow's Karma drawing! :smile:

    Gustard X26 Pro DAC
    Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
    B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
    Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
    Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
    Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)

    In with 54............Pitdogg's 53 does seem like a good number and already warmed up for the win. But I am not sure of the karma implications about taking it then winning.


    So 54.

    Great Karma, Dave!
    Not in since I already have one of these.

    Looks like a great first year on a higher level of a lifelong hobby obsession.
    Glad to see you've enjoyed yourself and I also enjoyed having some laughs with you, as well, and seeing you explore.

    I think it's funny how everyone keeps talking about your activity in the past tense. As if you're done. That's the best joke ever on here - "I think I'm done, guys, exiting the rabbit hole!" Pfff, that's when the betting starts.

    CP is like a gang. You in fo' life, ese.
