A special thank you...
« on: 22 Nov 2012, 03:36 pm »
The economy here in the US has been really tough on the audio industry these last few years. MANY specialty audio stores have called it quits and closed the doors. Many manufactures here in the US have been really feeling the down turn in the market and are staying a float with their exports. Let's face it, it is not an easy industry to be in right now.

Despite all of that though, GR Research has had another pretty good year. So we have a lot to be thankful for. So on this day that our nation takes pause to give thanks, I'd like to give some special thanks to all of you.

I'd like to thank the one responsible for creating and maintaining Audio Circle, and all of those that make it work by volunteering to moderate it. I thank all of the industry participants who have circles here and help draw people to Audio Circle. I thank all that participate here at Audio Circle and make this place the special place that it is. I thank all of the people that participate in the GR Research circle and have helped make it one of the most popular places here on Audio Circle. And I would like to send a big special thank you to all of our customers that have supported us all these years.

We have MUCH to be thankful for. So GR Research gives great thanks to all of you.

And I personally have a great deal to be thankful for that is much more important to me than audio. I have been very blessed. I hope all of you have things to be thankful for this day as well.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Danny, you speak words that come from my heart, too.  We are very blessed.

One of my great blessings is counting you and Christy as some of our best friends.   "I love you, man."   :D  Oh, yeah: so does Gayle.

AC is a terrific place .  I think of all of the great people out there that have become friends and it is amazing!

Have a wonderful day and eat well, my Brother.

Well said Danny, I would also like to thank the people who make this site possible. Yes, the economy has been difficult, but because of you and all of the good people who participate here, the world is a better place to live in. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and that you can all find something to be thankful for, I know I can.

I am thankful for this site also. I never in my wildest dreams would have been able to imagine that i could afford speakers i could justify upgrading to. I really wanted something much better than what i currently have. And having such support and advice to teach me how to build them is wonderful.

Thanks to Danny for being patient and working closely with his client base because he knows beginners just need a bit of confidence.

Happy times everyone.

Thankful I'm eating leftovers and that I have leftovers to eat.

It's great that your year was a decent one.
I'm happy to be one of your newer customers.

BTW I haven't seen that Gary has posted anything in a while.
Guess he's doing OK?

Thank you, Danny!  Glad you've had a good year.  Lots to be thankful for beyond our hobby/you business:  my 4 wonderful kids and 4 grandkids, God's grace and more.
Have a good weekend, AC members!

Thank you, Danny!  Over the Thanksgiving weekend I finally got my LS6 hooked up after a move and I'm enjoying listening like I haven't in some time!
