Meeting up with members even where there is no sale


Hey all, 

 

I've been a member here for over 20 years.  I've made some local friends in the Chicago area here over the years, but it has been increasingly difficult to meet up with folks when Audiogon prevents exchange of contact information. 

I understand this when there is a sale and the site needs its commission.  But to prevent us from doing anything off the forum/site seems harsh.  

Is it accurate to say Audiogon prohibits this entirely?  

I simply wanted to help a local guy with his crossovers and binding posts.

How many times over the years did I want to go out and create a speaker to sell to audiophiles? Many. How about you? 

I thought it would be easy . . . it isn't. Takes a lot of work, sophisticated design and a host of bring-to-market ideas that I couldn't muster. I gave up.

Not b2colchagoff. I have known b2colchagoff for over 6 years and have been watching him create these new speakers to display at AXPONA for many months. I can't make AXPONA this year but would suggest you give the Geshelli labs' room a visit on Friday from 6-7:30pm to see what b2colchagoff has created.

He is using really sophisticated laser cutting to achieve finishes that would not have been possible just a few years ago. The speaker components are also of high quality with several twists with DSP that make them a very modern, high-performance speaker. 

 

i'm also in chicago and would enjoy the option of troubleshooting/meeting up with local fellow obsessives....

A lot of people have missed the point here. You can’t exchange phone numbers, email, or any contact info, even in a private message. a bot will block it.
