System Pictures & a kind of "dating service"

Jere's another thought that may help you understand this concept I'm proposing. For the most part we see the same people posting on these forums. We see the same faces at our local audio get-togethers. That's great, and I love to share this hobby with each of you. But there are more audiophiles out there who do not necessarily participate at the same level, if at all. How can we bring them into the fold in a way that they are comfortable with? I think one way is to let them show off their own systems in a small group setting, under circumstances that they can control. Or perhaps invite them over to a regular member's place where their face can become known.

So, how can we help spread the word? Praise the lord (not sure if that is Krell, Levinson, or a slew of others, but you get my point).

Enjoy,
Bob

High End Audio is already like computer dating, everyone makes fantastic claims about what can be had. Compatability is always promised. Then you find out she has stolen your check book

Are you daring to suggest that nearly everyone makes fantastic claims about ordinary pieces of wire running between components and speakers? Highly preposterous!

I think a great start would be if our personal profiles allowed the option of posting "City" and "State". Right now the profile only lists "Country" and "Membership" and they are always blank.

I know that someone is going to point out that if we use our real names someone (surely not an Audiogon member) would look us up in the phone book and then steal our systems. That is why I said "option".
