How about a contest?

I see pretty awesome systems in the virtual systems section. Just look at the Done for Now and All Out Assault categories.

In this web-site are people to say this product is better than that one, or spending this much money is foolish or not spending enough is foolish. But here the rubber can never really meet the road. If you get my drift.

It would seem that with all the zeal for knowledge here, the know-it-alls, the humble, the competitive spirit, you would think that Audiogon would by now have developed a contest format, maybe even charge an entrance fee, employ a few professionals and or retired members to travel to homes to evaluate and score and submit the compiled results. There could even be different winners for different categories.

They do this type of thing in other hobbies, slot cars, shooting, etc, so why not provide an arena for the best systems.

Who would be interested in a contest?

Let the games begin!

Lets just make it a big party/picnic with other sporting games like bobbing for 300B tubes, and pin the tail on the driver! There could be CD Ultimate Frisbee, and lets not forget the popular DAC Pinata! For all you old track stars from back in high school there'll be the Krell toss, and the subwoofer hurdles. Don't forget to bring something to throw on the Class-A BBQ! See'ya'll there! There'll be plenty of prizes for everyone so you can all go home feeling proud!

I don't think your idea is very relevant, or practical for that matter. It would be nice, however, if Audiogon created an optional searchable field for geographical location. This way if someone was visiting a given locale, it would be easier to hook up with like minded souls.

I like the last wo ideas.

That way if I'm in the Phuket part of Thailand, I can look up my old audiophile buddy Lex Prapunta Puanglarplai and have a listen to his nORHs.

Then, we can go bobbing for Siamese hermaphrodites later in the evening.
