That is very cool, Jack. I'm happy that good stuff is happening for you. Seriously. 
bigjohn, perhaps the rotten aura you detect is the smell of my boy's dirty diaper that got changed here in my classroom at lunch. The students are now coming in and pondering aloud what Mr. Williams might possibly have had for lunch.

i changed a real good one of those myself last night. even had my 7 year old running for fresh air. jackson has been exclusively booby juice for his first 6 months, and now we are starting to incorporate real food. needless to say, his stomach does not agree with it.
and he has taken to chewing on the edge of the coffee table now that his teeth are coming in. so, i have been rotating it around every few days to ensure it gets an equal amount of bite marks on all 4 sides. then, in 15 years, i can point at the table and say, "see, look what you did"..

I know you are Mark, and I thank you for that. I just don't think we should let his motives, whatever they are, detract from the generously kind act of giving. I'm perfectly willing to admit that my view as the recipient of that generosity could be considered slightly tainted.
I, of course, don't believe he had any other motive than doing something nice for someone who he, and his panel of two others who made the selection, felt was deserving. If you were as aware of Mark's unheralded charitable contributions as I, you might feel the same, and I might not look so naive.
If he intended to make publicity "hay" from this, he's done a really lousy job of it. And if you think his goal was to "convert" a renowned internet forum expert on audio, I believe you have a grossly overinflated opinion of my importance. And while it is gratifying to think that YOU think I'm universally loved and respected at all forums, there are some on this forum alone who would laugh at you (may their keyboards mysteriously break  ), and a great number elsewhere who would join them.
You have now reminded me WHY I'm happy to have missed fatherhood. YUCK!

Who?
All kidding aside, enjoy the new gear. I have a good feeling that you will enjoy it.

bigjohn,
You are describing the effect of genes/heredity. If the little guy is already chewing on the coffee table, the trip to abusing the ports and touching the cones of fine speakers is not a very long one. God help the audiophiles of America.
My grown up and lady-like daughters also exhibited a talent for filling diapers with an impressive array of textures, colors and toxic aromas when they were very young. I never understood the equation that provided that result. Debbie and I certainly never fed the girls anything that smelled that bad.
Of course I may also be proving the gene/heredity thing myself. Even having switched to the industrial strength version of Depends with the special "Daisy Fresh Aura", I have been challenging the claims of containment and freshness and I also do not remember eating anything that smelled that bad. It's a mystery.

Well I was going to ramble on with "how sad it is that Jack has to explain himself when all he should have to do is sit back and enjoy this well deserved upgrade".
But I won't, I'll just say "is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me"?
At least now we are back on topic.

Doesn't anyone else have any gun stories? Please?
