Thank you knerian, those are very useful! I appreciate your post! I really like the monoprice and newegg ones. I know personally, i order a lot of my audio cables from mono price and my computer and electronic equipment from newegg. Awesome suggestions!

Yep- of course I will donate to this site like I do to the other sites I love and hang out at. You really get out of life what you put into it. This ain't easy.

I've been seriously pushing him to optimize ads, take sponsorship $$, or SOMETHING for longer than I can remember. I'm really, really glad this is happening. Marv is basically anti-monetization. I don't know wtf happened early in life, but homeboy hates asking anyone to pay for anything or to try to make money off something like this. Hell, he dislikes the thought of Chang even paying for itself. Meanwhile he's loaned gear (and even money when things were super tight) to tons of us here, given us deals, and really just been an incredibly giving human being.

 I know a lot of you see him as this crazy talking head who runs Changstar and drops forth the gospel on DACs and other audio gear, but he's one of the most down to earth, wonderfully unassuming people I have had the pleasure of calling a friend.

Take a look at Dreamhost. I've used them for years and they're great.

I can even generate you a promo code that'll make it cheaper for you.

Just send me a PM if you want to use them. You can sign up and get your money back within 3 months too if you don't like them.

Thanks to everyone in advance. There's a part of me who would like to thank every one individually, but that would take a lot of time. You guys have to understand that it's very difficult for me to ask you guys to do this. Ravi (zerodeefex) was the one who convinced me that this approach would be acceptable. I'm not the kind of person who likes to take from others.
I'm the same way. I have a hard time with this myself.

That said, let's make Chang completely self-funded some way, it'd be a shame to see it go down. Maybe if Jude had to pay per word he read? Then make him read that DAC argument thread. That should pay for a whole year by itself.
