Adding an ignore list feature to audiogon
Although some might call it it "censorship", it is not. Censorship is an individual, or smaller group, deciding what a larger group can, or cannot, see. An individual deciding what they want to see, or not see, is freedom. An ignore list feature w...

I wonder how many out there are actually running stock, unmodified Klipsch horns? I think there’s an unwritten rule among Klipsch users requiring them to make DIY mods, or have someone else do it😉  
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
I know I am probably tilting at windmills, but I had to put it out there😉

"Tommylion, do yourself a favor and save up your money for a good set of speakers. You’ll get a lot more bang for yur money." I have a good set of speakers, thank you very much. In fact they are some of the best I have heard, and have received m...

“It’s absurd to act like high end audio is some kind of utopia immune to the world’s sins and that what people say about things they buy or perhaps even are given by others to promote (who knows?) are undeniable facts.”Accusations about people bei...
