I stated on numerous occasions certain Posts made by myself are strictly for the 'OP' and the 'lookers in' from the now an the 'future'. I don't foresee much of what I am writing, being of a inspiration value to the limited number who usually post, but occasionally I have a private mail session with healthy exchanges where I have prompted a response. It is nice to think that somebody has discovered info that has been of use.

@elliottbnewcombjr I get your loss for the demise of DPreview, I am a member and have chose to not rush into another forum where I can indulge myself with Z System Info'. As for the Gon, I attempt to address the OP inquiry, only intend to share on experiences already encountered, and occasionally experiences to be planned for. Most importantly I write in a hope the views into a thread are catered for, as there are usually numerous more onlookers that contributors, it is my hope I can crate something the onlooker from the present or future finds something offered up by myself to be a stimulation. Every so often a forum member will give a shout out for something that you have made known, and that is, when directed towards myself, is plentiful as a gesture of goodwill when received. |
@elliottbnewcombjr I am very familiar with the meeting with others to enjoy the common interest of Listening to Recorded Music on the Systems in use in a selection of Homes. My Local Group is now up to Nine Members. At present all my listening is done on Systems owned by others, even though some of the devices demonstrated on a day are occasionally supplied by myself. I am not really keen on being a shut away in a room sole listener anymore, the evolving in number social side and getting a measure on the capability of ones own system, as a comparison to other in use, has become the most desired experience to be maintained. Prior to the Local HiFi Group becoming available, I have travelled frequently to meet on a social basis with like minded individuals, some return Journeys having been quite substantial. As for Photography, I don't do a great deal of forum visits, I participate more, with Nature being my main subject. There are places I visit within a month, where there are good facilities, and it is quite easy to encounter others after a excursion at a on-site Coffee Bar and engage in conversation about subjects and equipment. I am transitioning from one Camera Technology to another and have been selling the older technology equipment. To Date using Ebay, the option for Cash on Collection or Bank Transfer as the only Payment Method, has kept me secure as a Vendor and I have sold all offered items, even if some sales took a little longer to find the Buyer accepting this method of payment. It is nice to know that there are customers who accept the info offered in the Advert and are not looking for a Back Door to have their own advantage over a sale, or use a sale as Hire Only and return goods once they have been used for the Buyers purposes within the allowed for returns period.
