Doc & Queen B,

I was sad to see the newsletter at first, but am happy to know you both can enjoy your retirement after such a successful business venture. It was a blast the couple times I came to Bottleheadquarters to enjoy listening sessions and good company. And, Doc, I'll always remember that sunny summer afternoon in 2010, when there was a meet at some random library basement in Seattle and you showed me the Smack and the AKG K1000s thru the Paramount monoblocks! Also, I'll always cherish my own Bottlehead amps, ...but still need to get a Kaiju as my magnum opus build! Thank you both for all you've done for our community. What you offered: DIY, being local to WA, and focusing on the magic of tubes is what made Bottlehead the right choice for me. :) Congratulations and I wish you both a wonderfully happy and peaceful retirement. :)

Dan and Eileen,

Congrats on your retirement!  I can't believe this day is here, but know that you've created something special that we all enjoy regularly.  My Quickie has been going strong for the last 9 years or so, and maybe thousands of hours of listening time!  Wishing you all the best.

Thank you so much for getting me into this wonderful DIY hobby. I still potter away building stuff and occasionally something works and sounds good. And of course, it's amazing how many knowledgable people you meet over the years.

I hope you enjoy a wonderful retirement.
