The most helpful Forum Discussion Topics???
I must say that this 'Forums Section' of AudiogoN has been helpful in any number of ways. Products I had never heard of before, sources for additional information, trends in the industry, plus good natured humour (most of the time) have all been interesting and useful in making the most of this hobby. If I had to narrow it down to just a few discussions, however, I would have to say that the discussions on 'Tweeks' have by far been the most useful in upgrading my overall experience with high-end audio. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say that this is a kind of 'Golden Age' in all that can be done to improve the performance and ROI in audio/video systems. There are, of course, dozens of products from manufacturers, but some of the best advice comes from the personal experimentation that audiophiles have discovered in just doing the trial and error adjusting of system componets, the treatment of source material and the listening enviroment.
In any event, I would be interested in your thoughts on what you consider to be the most helpful Forum Discussion Topics and any examples of how this has materially improved your satisfaction in being a part of the AudiogoN community.
