If you see any item being bought or sold by "me", it's not me!


My account was hacked back on October 27th (2025), and Tammy rightfully suspended my Audiogon account. For personal reasons (details to follow) I was unaware this had happened, and just today finally spoke with Tammy and straightened everything out. I contacted her after seeing the two threads in which my name was mentioned (one asking if anyone had heard from me since last October, the other in the thread on the review of the Eminent Technology LFT-8c in The Absolute Sound. I'll be posting comments in those two threads (if I can find them).

No, I didn't die, but one of my sisters did (on November 16th, after suffering two strokes), and the other had a heart attack (and survived, but is in terrible shape). I'm the oldest sibling, and by far the healthiest.

Anyway, this posting is to let you know that my Audiogon handle was hijacked and my password changed (I've changed it again), so do not buy anything from anyone claiming to be me, or sell anything to anyone claiming same. My system is complete, I now buy only music.

Talk to y'all soon---Eric (the real bdp24).

And thanks for the Christmas card Jim. I was busy dealing with my sisters passing, including her cremation and arrangement for her burial at the Military cemetery in Portland (she’s a Navy Vet), my excuse for not responding smiley.

The one good thing that has happened is that I lost 40 lbs. since the end of October, the 40 lbs. I had gained since moving to the Northwest from SoCal ten years ago. I had to buy new pants! Levi now offers their original shrink-to-fit 501’s in black, with contrasting goldish stitching. Very Rockabilly looking, like guitarist JD McPherson in the Alison Krauss/Robert Plant videos. Gotta make cuffs so the inside of the canvas shows.
