Just a kind word of thanks

Back in early June I posted a response to a reader requesting feedback impressions of a particular table / arm combination that I just happened to own. While responding to this post I mentioned that I was running my Benz Glider cart. at 47K Ohms. Another Audiogon member "Zaikesman" replied that this setting was not correct for this particular cart. We then went off line and over to direct e-mail for some detailed discussions. After several pages of pleasent detailed education I started to experiment with my C-J EF1 phono stage. I finally became satisifed with 500 ohms at 52dB of gain. The wonderful thing about this experience was that a fellow Audiogon member took the time and energy to help educate another member in incredible detail. This is the reason why I love this site, and continue to buy / sell from this site. Good people with a love for high end equipment and music, willing to share knowledge and experience in a unselfish fashion!

Quincy, this site has and is an education for me also. I too have found a fellow member who I contacted thru email and he has been VERY helpful in helping me learn about HiFi audio. There have been several times I would have jumped in and bought something, that after running it by him, he has helped guide me into better audio decisions. I will not mention his name, but he knows who he is.

Zaikesman is a class act and a valuable member to this group. There are a few other from whom I have learned some great lessons. I think the people here genuinely want to help eachother. How many other places can we go and find the same spirit???

Quincy: I have seen many of Zaikesman's responses and although I do not agree all the time with him (mostly I do), I would have to agree that he is very knowledgable and deserves kudos!

I would also have to agree with Lak, that your acknowledgement publically is admirable and refreshing!

I have the same experiences with fellow Audiogoners particularly in the analog realm. There's a lot of down to earth, knowledgeable, and very professional people here.
Often, I thank them through their personal e-mail because I want it as personal and as sincere as I can.

Zaikes...is definitely part of this bunch!
