Vendors Who Post


There are a number of vendors who post to Audiogon discussion threads. I think we can fairly assume that all of them have disclosed that there are in fact vendors and are not hiding this important fact. In my experience, most vendors are very helpful here and do not attempt to primarily use the threads as a marketing tool to solicit customers. They use the threads to give useful information pertaining to their products, to clear up misunderstandings about their products and to correct misperceptions about their products. Most vendors post in a professional way with an appropriate tone. But, alas, there are some vendors who are less professional than others on these forums, in my opinion. How do you feel about the vendors who post here?

I've no objection, as long as they identify themselves, and don't run down other products.

Most of the professionals here are also hobbyists, often among the most experienced here, and I value their perspective. Peter, Duke (who seems quiet lately), Steve N. are a few that come to mind.

'Would that count as a change, Rok? ;)'

Upon further reflection, no, it would not be a change. Getting rid of the nonsense is just another way of saying getting rid of all the 'Audiophilia' stuff, and just leave the music lovers, and apparently I am the only music lover on this site.
So your implication is correct, I have beeen talking to myself all along. Now I am depressed!!
There is one guy not to mention any names,that all he does is push Vandersteens in all of his answers to questions. As a matter of fact I have been in his store to listen to products and have run in to the same problem. All he wants to do is push Vandersteen! I have owned Vandrsteens in the past but give me a break. I think he must own stock in that company or he just might be related to R.Vandersteen, who knows for sure, just sayin'!
