Please Make Audiogon Cool


I think that there are a lot of experienced and interesting people on this site. Some in retail, some in manufacturing, and probably some really cool artists, scientists and engineers of all sorts of backgrounds.


I want to encourage those of you with something to say, a point of view, a helpful idea to post.


Without this type of interaction, Audiogon becomes just a shopping support group. If you care about the Audiogon community and would like to see it go in a particular direction, then please contribute in the way you feel most comfortable and engaging.

Thanks!

Erik

The conversation here can get a bit uncool, but whenever a person comes into my house and sees a real stereo system with a turntable ready to play vinyl, inevitably they say “cool”. Just maintaining this equipment and analog media is cool. 
So as a community we should know we are by definition cool.

I'm really not that cool. I am however humble, honest, & very good looking.

Lynnj, I agree and don't think that any stereo system is complete without a turntable!

boxer12, since you already have the last three attributes: humble, honest, and good looking you sure don't need to worry about being cool. For myself I'm just really good-looking, it's in the genes.

I don't think listening to music through a good quality system is nerdy or uncool, it's spending time on a forum discussing it that's lame.

It's a wonderful hobby, but I don't know anyone who thinks it's "cool".
I wish it was.

I was pleasantly surprised last week when one of my sons’ friends was visiting from out of state and at the house, and my 28-yr old son went out of his way to show him my gear.   He was proud, they thought it was “cool”.    But since it wasn’t even turned on at the time, it certainly had nothing to do with the sound.    But it was still memorable.   Jim
