******A HAPPY END TO THIS STORY......PLEASE.*******
Not only for me, but for you guys as well.....

Hmmm...

I do not want to join this discussion, but I do only want to come with a statement.

I have been member of his forum since last summer, and there is only one thing to say:

Thank you, all you guys. In here I have made many good friends and connections. I have been helped out by many, questions have been asked and answered - and you have all been there for helping me remind my youth and Phoenix Gold.

I appreciate this more than most of you guys could ever imagine.

Two of the guys here, with technical knownledge and love for the old PG beyond this world are Eric and Cecil. They have been there for us others and this forum, and I must say that it is sad that this thread went all the way till this point.

I ask you two gentlemen, from all my (and the others I guess) heart:

Please leave this behind, and start up again as the two genius's as we know you - with no hidden thoughts.

I do not see why you guys should go towards eachother. You two are the "top of the line", simple as that. You two will always be respected by me, and no-one will ever pass you guys either.

Best wishes to you my friends, from Norway.

We have not gone towards each other. Cecil has been right all along, and he has also been far more personable in his way of handling things.

I am the one who has been out of line. I should never have questioned him, but I did not understand why he was getting the results he did. I would have preferred if Cecil had informed me a bit sooner where I was going wrong, but I don’t think he expected me to take this so far and dig myself such a hole.

Everyone needs to get it straight that this is my problem, not Cecil’s. If you reread this whole thread you can clearly see he never once argued about anything. He was never defensive or offensive, he simply presented his point and I attacked him. It just further shows how great of a guy he is that he showed me where I went wrong in private. He could have easily posted his explanation here and used it as an opportunity to discredit me. He did not, which in my book is proof he is the better man.

I just felt so bad about this, I chose to set the record straight here. Cecil gave me an opportunity to slip this under the rug, but that would not be doing him or anyone else here any justice.

So far this is about as happy an end as it can be for me, I hope Cecil will accept my apology.

I got to learn some very valuable information, and Cecil has renewed my interest in investigating some aspects of amplifiers which I thought I had down pretty solid.

One thing for sure is that there's always something you dont know. I fix computers for a living, and I by far dont know everything. I am the "senior tech" and there's always punk kids(errr adults) comming in to prove me wrong cuz I look like I am 22...and they are 45 with degrees (i'm 35, and no degree or A+ or any certs)...
And I've taken some lickings and gave a few back and I sometimes feel shattered, but I did realize that I dont know everything, but that's not going to stop me from learning and doing what I love to do...fix computers. I know this is not the same thing as fixing amps, but still, same token, dont give up! you got some talent!

Dont throw it away cuz you are afraid you'd blow a hole in a board. Learn why...And then fix it! You are by far a veryyyy talented guy. If you fell off your bike when you were a kid, and said screw it...I keep falling off...you'd never learn to ride a bike. Gotta keep trying...

to not try is to already fail.
