When I started posting on here, there weren’t a lot of us and the amount of activity was significantly less. However, I was a bit more curious than I am now. DAC’s were relatively new back then and streamers were still unheard of. SACD/CD players and iPods were what most folks used for digital playback. So Audiogon was like a new frontier in many respects. Even mono cartridges were an arcane topic back then. Anyway, its not that Audiogon members are now less knowledgeable or interesting but much of what gets discussed here seems to be recycled material. Its the same old stuff, just worded differently. Hopefully someone will invent a new type of digital component or a new tweak and then we’ll all have something new to learn about.
