Audiogon is alright, alright, alright. Maybe use the other sites that are less 1990s?
This forum is antiquated.
I'm a member of several forums. This site is ancient in it's ability to respond to member's posts, and is also extremely cumbersome to reply to specific member's posts, quotes, etc. What am I missing? For some posts that are so technologically subjective....the objective merits of this website and forums are so 1990s. Ancient technology.

Audiogon is alright, alright, alright. Maybe use the other sites that are less 1990s? Just copy and paste, press " while it's blue, and you get what I just did with you.Yeah....way too many steps to quote and reply. Ancient technology. should have a 'reply' button, a 'like' button, etc. The moderators are too busy shilling for a handful of 'psychological, subjective' marketers that have no basis in fundamental physics...while believing they hear what they pay for...or pretend to, anyway. Vaporware that is pretentious while pretending. |
@edgewound , I agree with you except for the nasty dissing of the moderators. They didn’t write the software for this antiquated website. See above (@), I can’t even notify you. There are many functions that are lacking and should be addressed, but we find workarounds. It’s still a great environment with many members who would take a bullet for me. OK, I’m exaggerating, but if somebody needs help troubleshooting or learning about audio, this is the forum to come to. I hope somebody hits the LIKE button for my comments. |
Yup ancient tech, I can PM George in AU at no expense to me or him get a reply (if he’s up) in less than a minute. BUT the cut and past on other FREE sites works better.. LOL OK If you say so... I need an auto solder, auto duster, auto auto program to make EVERYTHING thought command. Why does this sound like my A$$ is glued to the seat all day... Mercy you had to move your fingers more.. not asking you to make Persian Rugs... Time to feed the chickens.. |
The moderators are too busy shilling for a handful of 'psychological, subjective' marketers that have no basis in fundamental physics...while believing they hear what they pay for...or pretend to, anyway.Wound a bit too tight, I'd say. So this is one big conspiracy? Is the whole world out to get you and your money? If that were so, then this place would be the least of your worries. All the best, Nonoise |
This forum is antiquated Yes its antiquated inhabitants still go on and on about antiquated 20th century technologies like records, tubes, fuses, wires, even springs, ....you name it and some still don’t even want to hear about digital, Class D amps, streaming, you know the modern technologies and products setting the world on fire. We are talking Jurassic Park here! |

Another up to date forum is www.AudioKarma.org., but not quite as functional as www.TheGearPage.net, as is www.Audioholics.com. |
While I understand your comments and though technology has advanced and maybe you feel the people here are not up with the technology you desire that does not mean the sound is any better. All the technology still has to make music and what you get for the cheap technology you are probably listening to does not make it in any better sounding. For an example, I recently heard the top of the line $16K DAC. Plenty of technology especially with the XLR set-up which I believe uses 2 or 4 R2R DACs with the XLR output.. Nice sounding but not for $16K! Another older technology DAC that was built to sound great, walked all over it in so many ways. Happy Listening. |
Don't mess with us old guys. We are beyond the age where life in prison is a deterrent. :-)NOT. ANYMORE. |
People here matter most than the antiquated site interfacing method and rules for me... They are very interesting and varied.... I like them all, even those with which i have argued the most sometimes almost rudely ... Anyway the persons with which i have argued the most here learn me the most and i must thank them... Then no critic from me of this site in any way..... |
I disagree with the OP. Nothing wrong with this forum software and design. Slick forums and websites with the functionality referred to cost money which usually comes in the form of advertising, at least here I don’t get bombarded with advertising. I was a member of Stereo Net Australia (SNA) before I got banned. Check that web site out and be prepared to be bombarded with advertising, it’s everywhere. Most other forum websites are the same, annoying advertising everywhere. I don’t know how much it costs to run this site and forum, but i guess not cheap to maintain servers and secure site from cyber attacks, etc. At least here I get a daily email with popular discussions, a weekly email with promoted for sale gear and I haven’t been banned, yet! I find the forum and classifieds easy to navigate and use, sometimes the principles of KISS are best. Just enjoy and don’t think too much about next best, a bit like music and hifi gear, read and contribute with respect and interest and listen to the music, not the gear. |
