Where'd you buy the wringer? I haven't seen one of those offered for sale.

Looks like a pretty nice place. Everything's ready for use, just no one there to use it. I registered. If Chance would jump in (and maybe endorse it), it would probably take off. It looks like exactly what we need.

Yes, I think we need a forum somewhere that can draw the group buy community back together to discuss the equipment, the problems, the ongoing developments, etc. Obviously, HR is not interested in hosting such a forum, but perhaps one will develop on one of the other boards. If so, I hope...

Mine arrived today as well. I haven't actually installed any yet, but now that I have some spares I'm a lot less afraid to try it. Thanks, Chance!

If you're an HD24 owner, the Yahoo forum that Rick pointed out is definitely one that you'll want to belong to. There's a wealth of HD24-related discussion, including disk drive compatibility and efforts to make SATA drives work with the HD24. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hd24/ I've...

I don't think "safety" has anything to do with it. Some people believe that absolute polarity is important. In other words, if the first pulse from a drum hit is a compression, they think that it is important that the same is true of the first pulse that comes from the speaker when that sound...

Ribbon mics themselves aren't necessarily symmetrical. As a result, many ribbon mics do, indeed, sound distinctly different on the two sides of the mic. In fact, some manufacturers tout this as a benefit. (Two mics in one! ;)) So you may find that you prefer to use the back of the mic on...

Got a link? I looked through that section and didn't see anything.

Very good! I corrected a couple of typos/misspellings (underlined).

That might be a very good thing, but I'm not sure it's realistic. For example, I have no doubt whatsoever that our Chinese manufacturer would tell you - even now - that appropriate QC and testing had been done on this equipment. But I'm willing to bet that based on your experience, you won't...

Since you've deleted the message that you originally posted, I'm going to revise the reply that I had posted to that message. I do this for fairness - it seems completely unfair to leave a quote from you in place after you've deleted the message that it came from. And I want to hurry to get...

Again, I see no need to respond to most of your lengthy post. In fact, I don't even particularly disagree with most of it. It seems to me that you are doing a very good job of demonstrating EXACTLY why we need a sticky that warns people of the risks of participating in a group buy. You're...

Thanks for a very even-handed response that lays out your concerns clearly and without rancor. Your points and questions are legitimate, though I think mine are as well. It's not as black and white as some seem to think. Yes, the group buy was certainly intended to save money by avoiding the...

I'm a bit surprised at you two. Applauding a post where someone describes my words as "arrogant, unvetted, and (at best) simply ignorant"? If someone made a post like that in any of the fora that I moderate, they'd get a gentle reminder from me that such antagonism is rude and unnecessary, and...

This discussion has nothing to do with advertising. I just don't think it's realistic to expect a functional discussion if it's spread out all over the various fora. The thread has taken on a life of its own. It DOES need to be broken up into individual threads. But those threads should have...

Yes, yes, and no, respectively. You're a relative newcomer here, having joined this thread just a year ago. So you may not be aware of all of the history in these group buys. This thread started back in 2005. Regardless, when I posted my risk message last May, Randy replied: and Chance...

A modest counterproposal: Create a section on this board for "Group Buys" or "Community Purchasing". Not just "this" group buy, not just Chance's group buys, but all Group Buys. Start it by moving this thread there and the announcement that this thread will be closed on March 15th (or 31st)...

Chance posted "his side of the story", or at least a portion of it, in this very thread just yesterday. So just go back one page and read it for yourself.

Perhaps surprised would be a better word than curious, though I am somewhat curious. I think your viewpoint is misinformed and/or that you've jumped to some wrong conclusions. And if others here know why you're taking an interest, somehow I'm not one of them. I just think you're mistaken...

Excellent, it sounds like you made the right decision. But that leaves me more curious than ever about why you're even involved in this discussion. You don't believe that Chance would do this, so you didn't participate. Makes sense to me. So why not just let those who DID participate sort...
