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

I think this hobby was made cool by the pioneering DIY hobbyists who created it.  Hi Fi wasn't brought to us by big business. Big business took it over.

If we want to make being an audiophile something other than a consumer hobby we have to encourage more DIY and make more opportunities for personal innovation.

@elizabeth,

You make a good point about the boutique manufacturer being alive and well, but they are drops in the sea of total stereo sales.

     I'm cool as ice but still wanna be nice
     Being nice is just part of being cool
     The alternative to nice is being a tool
     Being a tool is the exact opposite of cool
     I'm gonna round 'em up and move 'em on out
     Spewin this Ode to Cool in a rhythmic shout out.

You're welcome and no charge,
      Tim
