Many of us know Bill Baker as a great designer and builder of top notch audio gear. Those of us who know him a little better know what a good man he is and how important and tight knit his extended family is to him. Bill and his were profoundly affected with many others by the extreme flooding in upstate NY recently. There are pictures and video of it available all over the net, maybe someone smarter than me can post some here. Bill had his shop wiped out completely by the water, a total loss, and his family members were affected up to and including one home rendered uninhabitable. I've seen the best of AC when some of our members have needed our support and thought this was another time we can show the kind of generosity and grace that many of our members here have.
I am selling two items in support of Bill and 100% of the sale will go direct to him and his family to help ease their burden even a little bit right now.
For this circle I have an Analog Research modified Squeezebox Duet that you can read about here

Pat does outstanding work, and this is a real gem for digital playback with or without a DAC. I'd like to again get a minimum of $250 to send Bill, but you can contribute more if you like.
If you're interested in helping out and would like to make an offer, please PM me (or feel free to post here if you like) and we'll work out pricing. I'll be asking buyers to either paypal (plus cover fees) or mail payment direct to Bill and I'll send the units to them.
Thanks for looking and in advance for helping out one of our own in a tough spot.
Peace,
Art
