Hi there - I love my KN7 - it doesn't sound any different or of a lesser quality because Technics are not going to bring out a KN8000.

I too hope this forum keeps going and agree the 'vitality' of it is waning now which I think is a shame. Can't suggest how to revive it - any technical questions by now must surely have been asked and answered and can be looked back at. I frequently look back because I know something has been asked previously and I find this is a great boon.

I feel that it has provided an incentive to me to play better, look more closely at the many features it has and lead to a better understanding. I will never learn all there is to know about it - my brain sadly is too sluggish now!

I have 'met' through corresponding with them, some good friends from all over the world on this forum and I truly value that.

I personally would like to extend a vote of thanks to Cees Schenk who has always been a source of encouragement to me to do better and for those of you who have taken the trouble to write to me about my offerings on his site.

Also to Larry Hawk initially and latterly Andrew Hearne for Technics for all. They have provided an exchange of music between us. Bebop for his work and for continually berating us all to send in more recordings. Nigel for allowing us to use this site.

And last and not least to all of you, past and present members who have taken the trouble to answer queries, take part in discussions and generally make this forum a welcome part of my day.
