Rene Rivo- meet n greet. some converstations during hi fi shows.
John Poscablo- bought some tubes from him. medyo moody.hirap basahin. learned later, wife has some health issues yta.maybe has something to do.can understand.
Mang Rod Teope- used to lurk around his house in Conchu, watched him work with his tube amps, wind his traffos. even suggested/was credited the name MUSIKA for his pre amp, to pit against the TONO pre amp then.
Edrel-my neighbor here in EPZA. your friendly parts supplier. have his 7193 horny preamp.
Andrew Sevilla- even have his KT88PP int. amp.
Tonyt- don't have a creation from him yet. he is just a pm away if you have some questions need some technical guidance. The most active & generous among to share his time, technical knowhow, guidance & thoughts.imo, with his contributions, the community is very much blessed to have him around.
Don why don't you invite them to see your lair and be dazzled by the quantity of your gears?
btw, the Luxman LV-105 you donated to me is just about to sing after 4 years, sana this year,
i will give you the first crack to listen to it....
John and I have been talking to each other in the later semester of last year, that is when i learned
a lot of things from him, i just hope that i have comforted him enough, i am aware of his health issues,
but i am sure he will recover from it and will be good as new....we do compare notes from time to time...
techies support each other, not so many people know this....i am also in touch with the malabon boys...
i am also happy to know that my tukayo, Trod93 is now good as new, talked to him just the other
day about hs cambridge phono upgrade....
like i said, i have no problem with fellow techies, even if sometimes we do not agree about diskarte, and that is just about right....
i never take comments here to heart, but instead learn from it....
my recent foray into lending out tube amps to would be users actually thought me a lot
about tube amps, and why not? i know how i made it....
so in effect i am more enriched by the experience, amps cost a finite amount of money,
but the knowledge gained, priceless....
