How did you discover audiogon?

Doing a web search for something or other. Stumbled upon it.

I purchased a CD transport and DAC (CAL Delta + Alpha, both of which I still own) off a local seller via eBay in 2001. When I arrived at his house to pick up th e goods, he showed me his new speaker find that he got off some obscure website called Audiogon. He asked me if I'd ever heard of it. "No, what's that?" I asked. He told me that it's a great website for getting nice gear.

That simple piece of advice over the years has cost me more money than this economic downturn has taken out of my 401k. But it's been fun.

Turned left at Greenland. Back when I had green.

I think I was googling and it came up. I was afraid of the concept and wrongly believed that the best way to buy was to buy new. I wish I knew then what I know now. Could have saved thousands of dollars!

I was at Yale a couple of years ago and a friend had a pair of Alon model 1 that he was looking to sell as he was going out west and his speakers wouldn't travel well. I went for a listen, he had a D-K amp and a Rega cd player. I had never heard anything like that in a home system in my life. He had me look up a review on A-Gon and it has been bookmarked since. The Alon's have brought me so much joy the last couple of years. What a great sounding speaker, it can run with the big dogs depending on what is upstream and the Black Orpheus cables (mandatory)
