Aidiogon is Da Bomb!


I just wanted to say how lucky I feel to have ventured onto this forum. The other forums have a "ban first, ask questions later" feel to them. That includes AVS, AVNirvana, Audioholics and the failed engineer who started a website so he could use his leftover equipment to measure whatever anyone sent in(no need to go there as that has been well addressed in other threads). Here I can say i love a certain cable and no one lobs a flame grenade yapping how I was "ripped off". I give the "virtual system" member pages 5 stars as it is like audio porn for gear heads who simply love to either show off their rooms or simply lust over systems some other members have curated. The courtesy I have received from some of the members with kilobuck systems is amazing. I an often treated like a VIP even though my system may be humble comparing to some other members here. No one gets in my face about liking Atmos, MQA or whatever. In other forums that is basically a kamikaze mission if you post it. I also like the mods who seem professional in my experience not a pea brained imbecile with authority issues like some of the other dopey sites I have visited (see above).

My favorite threads here aren't about gear or music, its actually about room setup. For example a recent thread asking about where to place a sub or about improving bass response. When you can help a member put $$$ he had budgeted for a new component to improve whatever back in his pocket by making less expensive solutions to get the same result its great.  The room seems to be the lowest risk, least expensive, highest reward "component" to address.

 

 

 

@rel  + 1 - Nice point! I was even tempted to mention that. Most people don't know about speechwriter William Safire and some of the famous lines that he came up with for others to say. 

I miss reading his weekly newspaper article On Language. While politically we were far apart I still respected him and listened to his arguments. His love of language is one I have too.
