How did you hear about Audiogon?

My audio experience has definately changed (most of the time for the better) ever since I started logging on to Audiogon. I am curious how did you fellow audiogoners heard about this website? I know I didn't hear about it from any of my local dealers. They always give me this dirty look when ever I mention about this website while visiting their stores. Also, I am wonder how they came up with the name Audiogon? The name probably reflects more of a selling site rather than an audio forum. If you had a chance to name this site what would you call it? I think I would call it, www.audioswapmeet.com, just to put some sense of humor into it. One a side note, I used to logon a lot the first few months after discovering the website. My wife started to wonder if I had a online girlfriend. I told her most of the guys here are like me, who spends more time playing with their equipments than with the opposite sex. (keep it clean guys)

Let me start by saying that I heard of this site when searching on the web for some product infomation. What started as a personal knowledge journey turned into a journey costing thousands of dollars.

About 2 years ago, I had saved up some cash to get a plasma tv and ht setup. I listened to music alot but wasn't aware there was better stuff than top of the line Best-Buy/Tweeter. I stumbled on Audio Asylum and learned of A'gon from there. I learned all I could and wound up ordering Von Scweikert 4.5 III's and their best center channel speaker. I hooked up my old Adcom stuff to the VSR's and...wow. "I never knew music could sound like this" I ditched the plasma idea and spent the money (and then some) on 2 channel.
To this day, I have never even hooked up that center channel speaker. Guess I should sell it.

Think that it was from a disbarred attourney with more coke up his nose than incoming air.

Hey, it was just a brief mention of the site.

The other "flyer" type used audio gear that i was talking about ( other than Audiomart ) was the Audio Trading Times. I don't know if this is still operating, but they obviously still have a website. Sean
