Randall Aiken	Re: Randall Aiken Amps story from NAMM Thanks! I'm looking forward to being at that show! Randall Aiken

Randall Aiken	Thanks! You don't know how close it was! We literally got them finished at 4:30AM and got to Nashville at 9:30 AM just before the show opened. I hope I can look back and laugh about this someday. Randall Aiken

Randall:

Congratulations, and good fortune! It was easy to tell that you understood what made a good amp tick, and that you were one of the brighter folks that appeared on Ampage. And thanks for the informative reference articles that you post for others to learn from. In the past few years here, I've noticed quite a few people take an interesting hobby and grow it into something useful and productive. It feels good to be associated (although, regretfully only through CRT's) with folks like that. You can be proud, dude.

Thanks, Doc! I really do appreciate the support from you and all the other fine folks here at Ampage.

I also love it when people get into repairing/building their own amps. There is nothing quite like that feeling of firing up your own creation and having it actually produce sound! Once someone builds that first amp, they are usually hooked for life. It is a very rewarding hobby. Fortunately, I got into it at a very young age, but you're never too old to start! I try to encourage as many people as I can.
