An appreciation and why I am grateful

[Shaman]

Just occurs to me that we take so much for granted in life. Make a list of all the things to be thankful for.....its endless.
Anyway to keep it hifi I would like to extend my gratitude to Ant and dad Steve.
These guys are just genuine all round nice people with a passion for music. Damned clever too as are many on this forum.
I started a friendship with them when I bought a Goldring G99 from Ant a while back. Steve built my Transcendent 300b monos.
For guys like me who love music but lack the skills to build these guys are indispensable. Both are very generous with their time and nothing is too much trouble.
Maybe one day I might try and build something......retirement beckons in three weeks.
Anyway I would like to add that they are both an inspiration to me and no doubt to some of you too.
This is the best audio forum without a doubt in my opinion.
So thanks to everyone involved!

Thanks Nigel. Much appreciated.

If you want to build stuff, then this place is the place to be.

[Ant]

Ta Nigel, i just like making stuff!

This lot on here have been instrumental over the years although they are probably sick of seeing yet another turntable getting built by me.....

But i stick to what I think I'm good at

Not at all, Ant. It was nice to see the one you did for Neal, at the weekend - lovely bit of work.

Yep, as is mine.
