Glad to be back

[jblguy]

Hi Everyone.
I was a member in the early 2000's for till maybe.... 2015ish. Just forget exactly. I faded away due to a tragedy in my life. But felt it was time to return to a great site I always really enjoyed being a part of.
Hopefully I can add to info here. A great resource and a ton of info here for sure.
And to Mr Widget....glad to see you still here and leading the site to greater things daily. Cheers!

Welcome back!

I'm just getting back in audio slowly. I'm turning 65 this summer and I go to more funerals than weddings/birthdays/etc.

Welcome back ! Things are quieter here than "back in the day" but a lot of the old timers still post here and there. 'Cept maybe Giskard/4313b...think he's left the building.

He was a world class source of audio knowledge!

I miss him too... I don't miss all of the drama that would erupt from time to time, but we were all younger then and possibly a bit too enthusiastic. JBL was a different company then too and with 4313B's audio and JBL knowledge and friends that were in Northridge at the time we were able to access design details and occasionally hardware that allowed us to take a much deeper dive into our DIY projects and have a better understanding of the factory built designs.

It wasn't that long ago when JBL was still supporting the majority of their legacy products... and before that they were actively encouraging DIY projects. That company and those days are pretty much gone or at least significantly diminished.

A couple of months ago I gave 4313B a call to check in. He is well, but he has definitely left the building. Between the normal tugs of life's other callings and the demise of the JBL that had been, he has stepped away from our shared hobby.

Many of us have stepped away from this hobby for periods whether due to personal tragedy like JBLguy who has recently found his way back (welcome back!) or others who have found other interests or responsibilities that have called them away and they never return.

The good news is that there is a lot of great gear out there and music has never been more diverse or available!

Let's keep enjoying the band as it plays on as this ship groans and lists.
