I started this thread as a moderator, and the software is not allowing me to post as ordinary member with the same name. So pardon me if I make posts as Decibel. I don't want to keep harassing the SuperMod about this glitch.
Vinay, coming from you I do take that as a serious compliment. Sam, we did disagree on a few things, but I always considered you to be HFV's resident expert on all things HTPC. I think in time, we all learnt to live together and expand each other's knowledge. That is the greatest strength of HFV. People like you, Vinay, eSanthosh, Srini, Spiro, Anm, Blasto, Asit, Rajiv, and so many others have made HFV such a wonderful place. I just named the people who came to my mind, and I am sure I have left out many other serious contributors. To all of them, my sincere thanks.
I will be contributing my knowledge to HFV is as many ways as I can.
I want to work with a few of you to do things I was not able to do before:
1) Write a FAQ.
2) Collaborate with a few of of you to write decent guides for a number of things - acoustics, setting up systems, power consumption, power conditioning.... etc. I would like these to be eye openers and sticky threads that all new members can read and understand instead of repeating the same questions again and again.
3) Take a lead in the world of digital audio - PC, DAC, files formats, etc.
4) Form a small group where we can help each other write technical articles on all things AV.
5) Write about the advantages of a TT based system with explanations on what MC, MM, platter etc. How to differentiate and appreciate analog sound?
6) Difference between a regular AVR based HT, and a HTiB.
7) Clear the confusion that exists in many people mind on what FullHD is.
We can use something like Google Docs so that the contributions can come pouring in all the time. One of use should take charge, decide when the document is complete, and then post it in HFV. You all have heard of open software. Let us initiate an open technology advisor.
To the hundreds of unnamed contributors of HFV, my sincere thanks.
I am not going anywhere. I have just stopped being a mod, that is all. I will continue to contribute to HFV and advise as many people as I can.
My sincere thanks to all of you.
Cheers. VenkatCR
