Well, it's gotta be around 20 WEEKS for me 🙂, and after inspiration from here (as well as some youtube exploration) I'm on yet another class AB DIY, as well as my very first Class D (modules though, I must admit) built in to the original wooden box that my Linn Ekos tonearm came in back in the 1990's.
Congrats to all those receiving long service awards here 👍

21 years, 3 months roughly. Enjoyed it here. Still do. Older and wiser. No bickering for me anymore. Mostly buying stuff on Marketplace and showing stuff I built. And a question here or there. Bought enough stuff to get keep me busy when retirement comes (13 years time)(If I actually get there)🤞
Thanks diyAudio and the members. Many who have departed made a big impact...Old school people who really knew their stuff. Helping people like me who have no electronics background.

What would the people (not yet born) think when they join in DiyA 100 years later, let alone 1000 years, if it still exists... none of us are alive and kicking around by then, but what a legacy for the future.

I find that I have pestered people here for more than 20 go-arounds. Only one time in the bin. But I see it as skiing, if you have never fallen, you didn't really try...
Sorry to all 😁

Can't remember (because it's been so long ago) why or how I became aware of diyaudio. A friend of mine introduced me to Amateur Audio/Speaker builder magazine which in turn led to building my first Pass amp, the A20. This changed what I thought was good sounding audio. This forum has been a wealth of information from a group of very talented and generous people.

I originally joined in 2001 or 2002 under a different username, but changed over to this one in 2003, so that's the date on record for me. I know it's frowned upon to change usernames like that, but hopefully I can be forgiven since it happened two decades ago...
On the new platform, even with backroom powers, we cannot see or confirm these things.
Thanks for the input Dr_S.
They would offer smugness at our attempts. Things change and what's left behind, while sometimes well regarded is often simply dismissed as that's what they did in the 'old days'
I am happy to be a part of the old days. I hope all of you are too. Without us, there would be no future.

Not true.
First 7 sign-ups, 2 are Jason and all but one are long gone. The Freddit in the list is from Sweden, not our current Carlson fan.
