| Audiophiles must be careful with their remotes, vs. items on ebay. Yes, comments on spelling, word usage and the like are critical to the success of AudiogoN.

| When suggesting audio components for friends and relatives... My experience has also included others on the "way up" in their audio journey. Even helped my Mom get an old KLH compact system which she used for the balance of her life. Even with the very high end system I had for my use, I was always impress... | |

| When suggesting audio components for friends and relatives... facten1, I understand what you mean/feel.I had a successful business for many years and paid employees well with super benefits, and really enjoyed giving back to the community. One Thanksgiving I provided a traditional meal for 50 homeless people... | |
