Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site?

@mofimadness those are speakers? lol I assumed it was the doors to your bedroom in your imaginary mansion!

October of 1999 for me.  I remember learning a lot from others and the many interesting discussions about the technical merits of different design choices in the current gear of the day, as well as discussions about cable making, tweaks and room treatments, and the frequent humor throughout....not really so different from now.  I do miss being able to communicate openly with other members by email because IMO that added to a sense of community.  I also wonder what happened to Sean and, even though he mostly posted at that other site, I miss Bob Crump's humor.

In all that time, Audiogon has been, and remains, the best place to buy and sell audio gear.  They have taken occasional criticism through the years, and they do not match everyone's own personal version of perfection, but nobody yet has consistently done it better.

I remember some really cool guys back then, somebody named Sean who knew a lot, a guy named Bill (?) who was great on the forums as well. I bought a lot of jazz LPs from a guy named Scott and I still listen to them. There were about 75 LPs all treated with First and Last and I love them! Hand picked and curated by Scott, who had Vandersteen 2c and sub.

Yes, I also remember Sean, as well as great guys like TWL, Lugnut, Subaruguru, among others.

Yes, I'm an old-timer.  

TWL was my fav. Tom's contributions led me to dive back deeply into vinyl. He gave so much assistance to vinyl lovers, a true gem. I was very sad when he chose to stop spending time here. Cheers,
