Hello,

  I am getting back into analog after many years away.  Just picked up a very pampered VPI Classic 3 and looking for a MC to reacquaint myself to LP's.  Int the process of building a EAR 834 clone for the phono duties.  Next up is to begin assembling a pair of KT88/6650 50W triode monoblocks with tube regulated bias supplies on first two stages, separate power supply chassis for each monoblock amplifier.  It is a Kevin Kennedy design.
  I started a hardwood lumber business that catered initially to the high end woodworkers/custom furniture market (Curly Woods) in 2000.  I closed the business in 2007 as the economy began its decline and ultimate crash in 2008.  I started another hardwood lumber business in 2010 (McKinney Hardwood Lumber) and thankfully it is doing well.  Hope to drop by as time allows to interact with everyone. 

Michael
