Guess I might as well join the love-fest. This site provides such a wealth of knowledge & of course I'm proud to be a part of it all; it is nice to be appreciated, so thanks Joman for the above honorable mention. So many contributors here are all participating to make the site what it is, & let's not forget Arnie & his gang too! It's not the site per se but the membership & conscientious management that make Audiogon such a great place to be a part of.
Ben above mentions all of the behind-the-scenes activities which go on un-seen, but definitely not un-noticed. I regularly, almost daily, receive email from others, even non-members, asking detailed questions for help & advice, some even offering unsolicited help/advice to me as well. I've spent numerous hours replying to those who asked questions all acros the range; have also talked with some of them on the phone or even face-to-face. It's a learning experience for all, including the 'teachers'.
My own personal audio rig has also benefited significantly & economically from these exchanges, & the rate of growth far exceeds what I could have accomplished simply on my own. In fact, one of the most significant tweaks that I've ever encountered was the result of an unsolicited email from Jadem6, Mr. JD MacRae, so I definitely want to publicly acknowledge that wonderful gesture of kindness. We have all helped to create a great community of amazingly international proportions. Nice thread!
