At one time I visited Audiogon several times a day and was very active at posting. For various reasons including their site redesign I moved around to other sites including What's Best Forum. After awhile WBF got so argumentative I quit posting all together. Lately I've posted a little over at audionirvana.org and return here to post updates on my old system thread. Like Mike, I get little to no feedback when I add to my system page so I'm not as eager to contribute as I once was. |
Here’s a thread I found with several of these folks posting about their situational changes and/or decisions to discontinue participating on Audiogon: http://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-happened-to-jfox Another thought: At least two of these people own extremely high-end systems, i.e. very expensive electronics and cabling and lots of tweaks. One has two of Machina Dynamica’s vibration-isolation solutions on his old Virtual systems page. With the recent numerous threads and posts viscously attacking people who buy/own expensive systems as if they are a societal menace, stating that those that buy/own expensive cables (and can hear audible differences) are not all there cognitively or that their equipment is subpar and that those that have found positive sonic results from tweaks such as aftermarket fuses or vibration control products are voodooist and non-technical gullible idiots, why would these veteran audiophiles choose to post here now?

Yes, there are quite a few from the past who I miss input from. As well as those already mentioned, I can think of cornfedboy, tvad, sdcampbell, avguygeorge, garfish, sugarbrie, elizabeth, nrchy, jadem6, jafox, viridian, just to name a few that I have missed input from lately. There are many still here though whose opinions I greatly respect and enjoy. Too many to name, but I have to say special thanks to almarg, atmasphere for their technical expertise, and lak, budburma, pops, swampwalker, onhwy61, sbank, among many others for helping me maintain my sanity (maybe?). |
Jayctoy, thanks for the kind words. it's nice to be missed. :) I do cruise through the 'Gon from time to time to see what's going on here. Audiogon seems to be plenty active. and i occasionally post when I see a subject I can relate to. many times interesting stuff is already hot and heavy and it's hard to jump into the middle of it and be relevant. if I was here more often I would get more involved. I think high end web forums are about relationships as much as anything. you tend to hang where you most feel comfortable, know people, and be part of a community. in recent years I've posted stuff on my audiogon system page but it did not get much attention so I stopped doing that for a couple of years now. maybe things have evolved here enough now that if I start doing that again it will get more involvement. I certainly post plenty of new stuff on other forums I could also post here. again, thanks. |
