How did you discover audiogon?

AudiogoN is not something I discovered. It has always been been here and is the soup from which all life emerged. Especially mine (audio wise, anyway).

That's a nice way of saying all my previous equipment was junk and AudiogoN put me on the good path by making good equipment obtainable. I recall it came up on an Google or Yahoo! search.

(This is quickly turning into a gathering of all the names I remember from when I first joined and haven't seen recently. Very nice!)

An ad in "Fi".

Around the turn of the century, when I was googling information on audio products, more than often an Audiogon entry from either sales, members' systems or reviews was bound to turn up. I found the discussions mostly included a wealth of information, arguments were matter of fact and the tone (well, in most cases) respectful. And, importantly, the discussions went in one direction at a time, not the continuous split-off of parallel universes at every stage and level of the replies "tree" that even Hugh Everett would have found confusing (please Audiogon, never ever change this).
