@jwpstayman Good points! What's your preamp?  
Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉
I think the 'community feedback' is an excellent idea.   
Lessons of youth
Photography and audio forms can have the nitpicky folks that like to brag and criticize others. They have the bullies too---so its definitely an ego trip for many, unfortunately. You can even spot them in the YouTube comments of audio reviewers.

@tablejockey @twodogs112 I'm definitely not mentioning forums! He get's enough drama in his photography group. I haven't approached the subject again but he really enjoys shopping for vinyl. I'll help him the next time he asks for advice---in the ... 
New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest
Nice website! You carry some really nice stuff! Just remember to be kind and patient to audiophile newbies. Some folks can be really intimated by super hifi equipment, particularly expensive equipment. Best of luck!  
I am taking a survey
About 3.5 for me as well.   
Top 10 vintage cassette decks
I had Nakamichi BX-150 back in the day. I currently have a Denon DRM-800A cassette deck. Both are awesome decks.  
Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
I often read comments that include terms like low-fi and mid-fi. What prices of gear would be in these ranges? Low-fi: less that $2500? Mid-fi: $2500-$5000, Hi-fi: >$5000??

Your last concert was to see who and when?
OMD last month in Washington DC---fantastic show!   
Amp & Pre or Integrated for Dynaudio Heritage Special
I have a Luxman 505uxii with Dyn Special 40s (and a REL sub)---great synergy and wonderful sound. Not sure if there's a HUGE difference b/w the S40s and Heritage Specials. Good luck.  
RIP Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode
@roxy54 Great album! I purchased the limited edition X1 and X2 box set back in the early 90s. They're still pretty rare--I'll get them out later tonight for the deep dive into DM. RIP Andy  
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
I have a pair of Dynaudio Special 40s and listen to a wide range of music as well--house, electronic, rock, disco and everything in between. I also have a REL sub and the music sounds amazing. I have a Luxman integrated 505uxii. I'm not sure how d... 
Butcher Block Acoustics
Good to know! I'm contemplating upgrading my rather generic rack. Customer service is a huge plus for me.
