Thanks Kaido!

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I don't really know what to say besides "Thank you!"

Kaido and I have been talking back and forth for quite a while now over PMs about various topics (I've exported my PMs several times since we've started, but I'm assuming it's in the hundreds for just us) and he's under the impression that I've helped him more than the other way around 😛

For some reason Kaido felt the need to send me some Christmas presents. Being the jerk that I am, I did not send any in return... or even a card... so this is all he gets in return 😱

oooh, pretty wrapping
card 1
card 2 (with message I did not get permission to post for all of AT)
Sonic T-amp
It's me :laugh:
ATOT seal of approval

Thanks Kaido!


1/16/07 UPDATE
Ok, here's the system I put together at work:

To the T-amp I added a power adapter and a pair of AV123 X-LS speakers (b-stock)

Grilles on
Grilles off
From the top/side
Tried to give them some space

That's neat! Kaido, YHPM (I'm hoping we can start something now for next year). 😛

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

lol, that Jello box idea was awesome, and I love the mention of a spider 😀

Kaido - would you like to be friends with me too?

 

[dawnbug]

Such a sweet gesture. 😀

 

[SmoochyTX]

That was very nice of him! 🙂

Kaido is a great guy.

I swapped a dozen PM's with him about HTPC/Macs and chatted with him for an hour on Skype.

Awww I'm blushing 😀 YoYo has helped me immensely...I was a complete Home Theater noob in every sense of the word before I met him. He helped me go from a 20" TV with RF input and a VCR to a DLP projector with 5.1 surround sound and homebuilt subwoofer and front speakers. When he says hundreds of PMs, he probably means thousands lol. I have several data dumps from my PM box that I use for reference with all of his awesome advice. Since I met him I've setup tons of home theaters, everything from projectors to RP to CRT to plasma plus stereo, 5.1, bass shakers, you name it all the way up to an $8,000 home theater system for friends. YoYo, you're the man :thumbsup: hope you enjoy the toy (and jello), it's a small token of my appreciation and I'm sure of my fellow AT'ers 🙂

and lol I was hoping you'd see the spider

 

[Kaido]

edit: btw I want to know how that T-Amp turns out 😉

hehe we need to do that again, that was fun! I need to tell you about my latest project - modding Xboxes 😉 The great thing about AT is that there are so many people with these great specialities...YoYo with his Home Theater advice, RossMAN with his deals, etc. etc. Happy Holidays y'all!

YoYo's heart grew three sizes that day...

I'm down for that and we can even invite YoYo!

With Skype you can conference up to 5 people or 10 people if the host has an Intel Dual Core (not AMD).

:thumbsup:

Wow nice! Got a core duo laptop a month or so ago, loving it! I'm housesitting for a friend until next month so I won't have Internet access at night, so we'll have to schedule it sometime before 8 or 9pm.

I haven't had a chance to try it out really, I don't have a long enough set of unterminated speaker wires 😛
