How did you hear about Audiogon?


My audio experience has definately changed (most of the time for the better) ever since I started logging on to Audiogon. I am curious how did you fellow audiogoners heard about this website? I know I didn't hear about it from any of my local dealers. They always give me this dirty look when ever I mention about this website while visiting their stores. Also, I am wonder how they came up with the name Audiogon? The name probably reflects more of a selling site rather than an audio forum. If you had a chance to name this site what would you call it? I think I would call it, www.audioswapmeet.com, just to put some sense of humor into it. One a side note, I used to logon a lot the first few months after discovering the website. My wife started to wonder if I had a online girlfriend. I told her most of the guys here are like me, who spends more time playing with their equipments than with the opposite sex. (keep it clean guys)

Let me start by saying that I heard of this site when searching on the web for some product infomation. What started as a personal knowledge journey turned into a journey costing thousands of dollars.

From an audiogeek friend-- over 3 years ago-- and my audio life hasn't been the same since. Audiogon has cost me a lot of money and saved me even more-- this is "audiogeek logic".

My audio knowledge has increased exponentially, and my stereo system is now truly high performance, but I think most of all, I've enjoyed the interchange of information and ideas (even the weird ones) on the site and meeting fellow audiogeeks. Cheers. Craig
