How about a contest?

I see pretty awesome systems in the virtual systems section. Just look at the Done for Now and All Out Assault categories.

In this web-site are people to say this product is better than that one, or spending this much money is foolish or not spending enough is foolish. But here the rubber can never really meet the road. If you get my drift.

It would seem that with all the zeal for knowledge here, the know-it-alls, the humble, the competitive spirit, you would think that Audiogon would by now have developed a contest format, maybe even charge an entrance fee, employ a few professionals and or retired members to travel to homes to evaluate and score and submit the compiled results. There could even be different winners for different categories.

They do this type of thing in other hobbies, slot cars, shooting, etc, so why not provide an arena for the best systems.

Who would be interested in a contest?

Let the games begin!

There are too many subjectivities for a contest -- oh wait, maybe it could be like ice skating competitions. That's subjective and a winner is always chosen, even if they're not the best. Nah! Too dicey. We'd start having audiophile boyfriends or girlfriends out there breaking kneecaps ;-)

I do like the idea of getting out and listening to some of the high end systems -- but I'd rather approach it from a learning perspective rather than being strictly competitive.
