Some of you have seen this on Facebook, but I wanted to post it here as well. I don't feel like typing up anything different, but I love you guys and wanted to share this. Today marks the 25th anniversary of my dad's death.I remember being picked up from school by my Aunt Nancy and taken home to a sea of cars at the house, but asking where dad's was; it was the only one missing.I remember being told my dad was dead, and I remember the immediate denial in my head, and then looking across at the faces of these people who I KNEW had to be playing some cruel joke onus, but I immediately knew it was true. I remember my dad always wearing dress pants and a button up shirt. I remember him wearing shorts one time, and that's when we were out for a walk on the beach. They were navy blue, and basically a shorter version of the dress pants he wore every other day. I remembered a few minutes ago, as I was about to take off my socks after a long day at work, that Xavier insisted he do it for me. I remember taking off my dad's socks for him after he was relaxing in the recliner in our old house after what was surely a longer day (as superintendent of schools) than I typically have. I remember playing golf and meeting a man and finding out he knew my dad. We talked and he told me that he didn't like him, but he respected him. That encounter really helped to flesh out my idea of my dad not just as my dad, but as a person and a leader in our community; a story that has stuck with me for 20 years. He was a good man, a kind man, a loving husband and father. I still think about him often, and I miss him daily. I wish my brother and I could have had more time with our dad, my aunt more time with her brother, and my mom more time with her soulmate, but alas, we did not. We do, however, have our memories, and as long as I'm able, I'm going to remember, fondly, my dad, Richard Kirk Lawson. -Brent Kirk Lawson

Finally received my replacement SR-009 cable from STAX Japan and their shipper A&M Enterprises. All looks good and will be soldering it in a few days. Talking via email with Douglas Ip of STAX, he mentioned that as of Jan 1, 2017 Yama Enterprises is no longer their STAX distributor/dealer here. Douglas is working now to establish a company and warehouse out of Dallas/Fort Worth Texas. Great news.

Positive: 10uF, 1uF, 4x10uF and 5x0ohm resistors for voltage setting. Negative: 10uF, 1uF, 4x10uF and 89ohms, AOT, 1M43, 10nF.

Amazing tribute, Brent. He would be proud of the man his son has become.

It was tough for me loosing my Dad at age 42. And he wasn't always a loving Father. I can't imagine loosing a Father at such a young age. I learned a lot from my Father. Sometimes from copying him, and sometimes from promising myself not to copy him. Father/Son relationships can be complicated, but it sounds like yours may have been less complicated and more loving. I'm glad for that. It's obvious that you yourself are a great Father, and I'm imagining that you learned that from him. Your Father would be very proud of the man you have become! He lives on within you, and that's very special.

Another nerd watch day. Pairs well with AirPods. The kids love it, you can double tap and Mickey states the time.

You honor him with your words, and with who you are. Wonderful tributes both!

Any of you guys tried Airbar? Looks pretty cool.

Well It happened yesterday but @Sherwood sent me the pictures today. We organised a small Istanbul Head-Case meeting with Tyler Abi. at his house. It was increadibly fun. Here are pictures: The case filled with my digital section (MHDT Lab Atlantis, Gustard U12) and some interconnects. And HD 800 S... And Whole table: Me (sorry for the stupid poses, I cannot do otherwise) and Tyler Abi: Thank you Tyler Abi again and again for your hospitality. I had a great time. And ofc, @dsavitsk, The L-2 amplifier sounds great sir.

Thanks for the words, guys. A lot of people who knew him saw this on FB and shared some kind words about both the man, and some about the day. I reconnected with a good childhood friend moments ago when he saw that. It's nice to see that someone who has made such a large positive impact on your life has made similar impacts on others. Steve, for some perspective, my dad had just turned 43 when he passed away. I'm sorry that he wasn't the best role model for you, but I'm glad to hear you were able to learn behavior that you wanted to avoid within yourself. I can't recall much negative about my dad, and though I'm sure I was insulated from a bit, I still imagine it was less than most. I think he'd be proud of me, and he'd love his grandkids; I wish he could have met them.

ramen with ramen eggs and crispy tofu. garlic miso based broth. some carrots and spicy chinese pickles tossed in at the end.

I couldn't agree more with the comments already posted. I feel honored that you shared such a touching tribute with us.

Cool, let us know if your opinions change. The Gamma Pro and SR-X Pro sound pretty different to my ears, even though they use the same drivers. Boy do I know that feeling. I listen to $10 earbuds out of my phone most of the time... for some reason there's some level of comfort in knowing I've come full circle

RIP Richard Kirk Lawson. He raised a great son ... though one with questionable taste in doughnuts.

Nice tribute Brent

Thanks for sharing, Brent. Hugs.

Can I get clarification, I’m using AMBs off-board regs (set to 20v), what other parts (obviously beside the regs themselves) are to left unpopulated?

I didn't take a picture to rub it in, but I had Iron Springs fish and chips. Jack says hi Steve.

Very touching tribute, Brent. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, very nice tribute Brent!

Kudos to Adam Silver for bringing Oakley and Dolan to the table. Silver seems like such a thoughtful guy.

R/blue bottom means the crazy red wire that they soldered together and insulated with a piece of wax paper, which ends up next to a blue one at the bottom of the driver, held together with putty. Edit: the pinout I drew on the napkin is when you're staring at the plug straight on. Not the jack

Thanks for the feedback. I am on their list for when back in stock...

Hairspray for when you visit Chicago? AYE KEED, AYE KEED... Me: some random piano noodling:

Where are the cats? Great pics, glad you got together!

Never would have guessed! [emoji6]

To bad it isn't in class. I could camp out on DOTUs lawn and collect $200k a year from my GI Bill. Would keep us in beer and herb [emoji6]

Leg of lamb and cheesy cauliflower. I made a pan sauce with some of the wine from earlier too, but that took a few minutes more and I couldn't wait.
