Best of Audiogon Members

On a tangent, I would like to nominate some of the Audiogoners who have become close friends, who I don't really see much of anymore, and I miss dearly here in the forums. The people on this list are as knowledgeable and passionate an audiophile as one will EVER meet.

God knows that I am going to forget a few. In alphabetical order - or as close as this dummy can come to it:
Brulee - a divine being, without question THE BEST EVER!!!
Carl_eber - Audiogon was at the zenith when he was the big dog
Dekay - relentless, passioned, incredible
Garfish - smart, practical, intellectual, kind, sense of humor
Gthirteen - salt of the earth, realistic, moving forward
Jadem6 - sensitive(overly?), zealous, meticulous
Jcbtubes - seen and heard the best, and can build it, like the true stars in life he was modest
Joecoherent - Silverline, Silverline, Silverline
Leafs - tells it like it is, hockey, Coincidents, Well Tempered, and Rogue
Natalie - uhhh, see above?
Redkiwi - sharp wit, different perspectives, valuable
Rockvirgo - no BS, knows the wheat from the chaff
Sedond - funetik speling (tuna = tuner), halaireus, miss him deerly
Sluggo - the prankster

And, whoever the guy was who initiated a thread, asked a question, answered it for himself, and then asked himself out for a drink, Albertporter and I will forever remember you.

Trelja- You do know who Sluggo was, right??

Tim, of course.

If you read closely, you'll notice there were, um, a couple of people on their more than once...

Has anyone heard from Brulee? We use to phone each other from time to time..Is he out there? Is he well? Bruce come back!! Tom

Living in an audiophile starved area with only a very few others can leed one to beleave that he knows a little something about audio...after all, those boys down at Best Buy do seem somewhat slow to grasp what your are talking about sometimes.

Finding Audiogon for me was almost an "Matrix" type of experience. Set in the chair..plug in, WOW!...a direct link to another reality (With a HUGE brain) at it's center.

Every day I pickup a scrap of useful info from at least one of the people here (old members and new) and have humbled by the knowledge of you people.

I would like to name those members but the list would be incomplete, certainly all those listed above have provided much to my knowledge even over and above audio...many a good long laugh also, some real wit around here IMHO thats hard to find at some of the other forums!

Well, gotta go...our boss here at Circut City is on the rag!, seems that Best Buy tops us in sales last week.
