What does the word audiogon even mean?


i get the AUDIO......but what about the GON

mid-fi-crisis

I like the name of this website. The "gon" lends a touch of class, gravitas and science to our wretched, pocket-emptying hobby. 😎

gon = gone

The Penta-gon is a place dedicated to war, Audio-gon is a place dedicated to all things audio. ...and I'm sticking to it...

Arnie the owner of the Accutronics store in Ann Arbor started selling a bunch of used audio equipment out of the basement level on ebay.  The good stuff was upstairs.  When he saw how well it was doing, it morphed into Audio-gone.
