@yogiboy I’ve joined Asylum.
OP, thanks for the suggestions of other sites with better technology.
@craig I agree with you that often less technology is better -- especially when ads are not in my face all the time.
The reason I keep coming back here is the expertise I keep learning from. It’s like a favorite diner or bar. The company keeps one coming back. A while back, I posted a problem with my electrical, and jshea and almarg and a couple others stuck with me while I followed their instructions to test outlets and report back. It was like having good people in the control tower. Their advice saved me time and money. All the gear I own now is thanks to advice here. And I’m very happy with it. And my self-education in acoustics....I won’t go on.
If there are tweaks or changes that would make this site more attractive or less frustrating, I think the best approach would be for the OP to start a discussion about that and then ask members here to individually email the moderators with a request. That would be the shortest path to improvement.
For me, quick improvements would be:
* ability to post photos
* a category just for room acoustics
* a "super-category" of threads which do the best job of explaining FAQ’s (such as, "How to match Preamps and Amps" or "The difference between Conditioners and Regenerators" etc.
