Aloha Everyone!

It's been awhile. So long, in fact that I arrived at the end of the internet and came full circle back to polk audio forum. It's been quite a journey, but I have remained faithful to analog.

Anyway, just thought I'd drop in and give everyone my Aloha. Crazy days we're living, hope the polkies have been looking out for one another.

More later. . .

Mike :)

    Nice to see people come home now and then, welcome back!
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Welcome back! ;):)

    I remember a Typhoon headed your way years ago and then there was that volcano lava flow on one of the islands.

    I thought one of them did damage to your property.

    Well, you sure have missed a lot of drama. Maybe that's a good thing.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Hey Mike.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    BTW, you can get your old account back if you are interested. Complete with PM's, post count, blah, blah, blah. PM Jesse or @AlmaGarcia and ask what is needed to get your old account back.

    Something happened with Vanilla last year that screwed with the accounts. FWIW.
