Welcome aboard, ponchit! Lots to learn and discuss here. Just be aware that obsessive ”audiophiles," even those with thousands of Audiogon forum posts, can put out bad info and recommendations. Obsession, by default, is a negative quality. Temper your reading here with good judgement and outside research.
Glad to have you with us! |
Cold in SF ?
12 below in St Paul tonight .

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Need that desperately here in cold San Francisco where I'm visiting for the holidays.

@sharon1407,
The literal meaning of the word audiophile a lover of music. A commonly accepted definition is "a person who is especially interested in high-fidelity sound reproduction" Not a snobby know-it-all or one who spends $5,000 on a set of speaker cables. Give yourself some credit!

Welcome and Happy Holidays! I don’t post but have read posts for probably a couple years to learn. I don’t consider myself an audiophile but rather an audio enthusiast. So much to know!

Welcome lanceman25 and happy holidays to you and ponchit and all!

Welcome ponchit ...
I don't post much, but have been a reader / learner for years ...

Welcome, Ponchit and Happy Holidays. IME, 99% of the folks here on Audiogon are nice, intelligent, respectful audiophiles. If you run into any of the 1%, I suggest you do what I do - ignore them and move on. |

Newbie here, too. I’ve been following along for a couple of months and have taken a few strolls down the rabbit hole with you all. I’m enjoying tagging along, learning and being teased with new knowledge, daily.
Some goodies I’ve picked up along the way:
Yamaha RX-A860
Emotiva A300
Elac Uni-fi UB5s
Oppo 103
Harmon Kardon 330B

Welcome and yes this is the right place to learn and buy. |
Greetings Ponchit. If you can do what randy-11 asked above that would help us to know where you're at in the audiodom adventure.
When you have time, posting your system in the "Virtual Systems" on A'gon would be awesome.
|
I agree with gdhal's last sentence for sure.
Want to list your preferred music & system components?
room treatments? |
Come on in Ponchit. Kick yer shoes off and stay awhile!
I will second gdhal's post above. |
|
Welcome aboard Ponchit. Buckle up your audio seatbelt.
All the best,

This is a good place to be, welcome!

Welcome Ponchit, hope you enjoy our audio musings. |
|
Welcome ponchit.
I hope your time spent here is fun and rewarding for you. |
Welcome ponchit to an entertaining and often contentious forum! +1 I'd add that this can be a rather informative forum as well. Many all-things-audio experienced and kind folks here that I for one am grateful impart their knowledge. The challenge at times though can be figuring out what is fact, fiction, opinion, etc. |
