Mary's politics are loathsome, but this joint is worth preserving. Done.

Awesome gang - glad to see such support; we're > 3K already.


It'd be a great thing to keep going, and setup a fund to support the site. It can be replenished periodically.

Marv its not a hand out.

We all use this site and have a preference as to how we want it to be ran. That includes no sponsor.  You want things done a certain way pay up (if you have means I mean).  That being said can you pm your paypal, I don't like uploading my credit cards info more often than I have too.

Soooo pretty sure I saw somewhere that some pirates know there way around ilustrator.... no one wants to make a army parody poster?

Good suggestion. I am tending toward this as we have reached what is needed. (HOLY COW - thanks guys, I am so appreciative.) Amazon links are less annoying. Maybe have the adsense stuff for people who don't have registered accounts.

I intend for core CS people to have their own private sub-forum to discuss gear - at least initially, before a digest of such conversations can be presented to a more general audience. I too am concerned about the site getting too big and the quality of content getting lower. There is a reason why my more recent audio posts have been measurements... I do notice these things.

I also want to break down measurement sections. At this time, I only want Hands and my measurements to be sanctioned. (Additional people can also be approved upon meeting certain standards.) Other people can post their measurements, but they will go into a unsanctioned measurement sub-forum, i.e. "random measurements by random" people.

If I ever make money like Ken Rockwell, I'll give out a few EC amps to randomly selected people, before I buy myself a car. I'll get something stupid like a Camaro with the big motor. The new Mustang GT350 seems nice too.

A paypal route would be good. My donation is stalled (only 'till later) as I have to go and find the right card.

I'm thinking, and hoping, that a few dollars is better than nothing, at this time. I'm also wondering if a small but repetitive donation is of better value than a one off. I do that for some of the Linux software I use, which is a one-man project (KXStudio). It may be only a beer, but enough people each buying a beer and... 

I still have ABP turned off for Changstar, and I'll keep it that way. But I must remember to actually click on an ad more often

I'd like to hopefully be a part of the sanctioned measurements so when you get some time marvey I'd love to know what guidelines you'd require. Also congratulations on reaching the goal that quickly

"what are you doing for your changstar?"  or something like that

I would volunteer to make the artwork, but it would probably scare people away.

I also want to break down measurement sections. At this time, I only want Hands and my measurements to be sanctioned. (Additional people can also be approved upon meeting certain standards.) Other people can post their measurements, but they will go into a unsanctioned measurement sub-forum, i.e. "random measurements by random" people.
If I ever make money like Ken Rockwell, I'll give out a few EC amps to randomly selected people, before I buy myself a car.

I should secure myself a C.U.N.T. so I can have a mix of your style and my style headphone measurements. Will need to standardize any amp/DAC measurements and might need some assistance to get up and running in that regard, even small stuff like resistor loads.


I'm just gonna put myself out there, total asshole style, as said random selection to have you build me a modded Super 7 ala Anax/MisterRogers style. Gosh, I want one of those so bad, haha.
