You rang? I haven't given up the forum entirely, but have been struggling to find time to put brain power into the hobby. Some of it is family obligations, and some is work load. Case in point: I'm approaching two months behind schedule getting a review of the BDP-105 written, and my interest in hearing a Model 975 has not been sufficient to lead me to pick one up to tinker with (partly because it wouldn't be able to pair up with the BDP-105's multichannel analog output and partly because I haven't even had time to fix a random IR distribution glitch in the system, much less tackle a SSP change-out).
