Talk but not walk?
I can't even explain why some people respond with anger or animosity or disinformation to everything these days.  If they get something out of that I can't fathom it. @vinylfan62 It's called trolling -- and I agree, doesn't make sense except t...

Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio?
Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio ...I sure as heck hope not.  I first became an Agon member back around 2005.  It was different back then.  I bought and sold a few items, the last being a GamuT D200.  Not sure what happened but the buyer conta...
