KR I would encourage you and the other "processionals" to bring your knowledge and exchange up to a new level. When Audiogon was a ‘shot from the hip/ fist and cuffs' site it was a whole lot easier to participate. Now it requires thoughtful responses that might actually help improve ones knowledge or enjoyment of the hobby. I beg you and your colleagues to consider Audiogon for what it is, the premier Internet site for Audiophiles. AA has it's place, but in the past two years it has been left behind by this site and the participants who frequent it. I believe we would all benefit from the insight of "professional" reviewers if not only because you are exposed to so much more. Maybe a place for you to start is in the review section, are there other components you have heard or heard about that might be similar in characteristics that people might look in to? Do you have suggestions to the writer that might be useful to them, help them to improve the review for the next time? How about music, in your position I would expect you have found music we should all be aware of. Could you make some suggestions? It seems to me there is a lot you could do to improve the hobby. I'm not saying you should not enjoy the ‘wild west' at AA, but I do believe your position in the audio community requires you to do all you can to expand the hobby.
