about a month ago....
i had a series of long phone conversations with the legendary John Poscablo who i admire very much btw....
naturally we compared notes...and it is there that i found out that there are those calling him
on the phone inquiring about amp builds and when he gives quotes, the caller would say,
'Bakit kay ka Tony ganun lang ang price, bakit sa iyo ang mahal?'
i did not ask him who the caller or callers were, i did not care...
i believe that it would be unfair and uncalled for to ask John to make an amp based on what i use to charge...
if you want a Poscablo amp build, then pay his price, simple as that....
because of this i am no longer entertaining inquiries thru pm....
not even thru the phone......
you have to come to the house and we have a face to face meeting, and then we can discuss..
and to make things clearer, i am not after the bussines of other diy'ers here,
i am a one man affair, just wanting to build amps as a hobby, since tubes are my passion...
i will not entertain jobs that are repair in nature, i hate fixing other peoples' mess...
only my own mess.....
i do not Mundorf amps, Jojod, john, mang rod or rene rivo is the men for those jobs....
restorations jobs are the specialty of rene rivo....he is the one you have to go to...
i do not offer to sell my amps, if you notice i never post in the market place selling my amps...
i post my creations in the technical thread, when they are working, you can come to house
for a look see, and if you like it then it is possible you can have it...
i am in this hobby to teach other people, mostly the younger ones than me
to make their own amps, if they learn well, then they will be able to sell amps themselves...
there are more diy'ers wanting to build amps that come to the house,
to be honest i am happier when they do....i know i am serving a purpose...
i do not think that as a hobbyist there is big bucks to be made, only when you are
making and selling amps by the thousands will you ever see real money...
a one or two affair never cuts it...
