Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?

Definitely,

You need to simply observe for a while, get a sense who is who, then, like me, ask for advice. (other research of course). Search old discussions, the expertise is deep.

I joined just prior to Covid in 2019, and ended up completely reworking 3 systems, each benefitted from advice here.

I am eternally grateful that the primary result is this TT with 3 tonearms

I met a member here, made a trade, and ended up with a very cool Vertical TT in my office

I met/repeatedly meet individually with 6 new friends I gained here.

I only recommend stuff I have personal experience with, so I sound like a broken record, but someone new might not know that.

I try to give back, many of my Virtual Systems are to explain with images

My Virtual Systems here

I'm rediscovering all my CDs (and buying used) after asking and getting a Sony xa5400es SACD Player that is 'just right' for my ears.

Yes many have  carried weight for me over the years, especially early on when a lot of high end stuff was fairly new to me. 

Sure.  I enjoy reading what others have compared, and what their findings were. 

You can decide what is helpful or not. It helps to come up with mindful questions.  

OP, if you post random questions like this before putting much thought into it, you’ll get out of it what you put into it.  

Yes. Posters that spend enough time to present their evidence, preferences and post their systems so it is easy for you to determine "where they are coming from". 

No. Short one liners, vitriolic, dogmatic, deniers... etc. 

Yes, there are several members here whose opinions have value.

Since you, as the OP of this thread, have stated that the opinions of most don't hold any weight with you, I don't understand why you post so many questions asking for the opinions of others.
