I envy what you know, not what you have

A gonner for a few years, I've built a system that makes me happy.

The room, speakers, amps, a tollerant wife; what more can you ask?--- musical knowledge!

I've read postings, as we all have, from those on Audiogon who carry the most weight; their experience in both, music and gear, define their reputation.

I will mention a few in alphabetical order; I'm sure I will offend many since since I need to finish this thread before Sue comes in to say that supper is ready, It's 9 PM. early tonight!

Albert Porter, Clio, Dougdeacon, Rauliregas, Rushton, Sirspeedy, Audiophile, and many more, to hell with the alphabet -- I know I've missed many, I'm sorry.

This thread is both a statement and a question. How many of you have made a decision that improved your audio experience because of one of the many top flight Audiogonners' postings? Did you ever let them know you're happy that you capitalized on their knowledge and experience? Even if you did , now is the time to say thanks, I know I will!!

Many have helped and many have been thanked, sometimes I feel the elites here dont pay too much attention to us who struggle to have what we do, you never see much encourgement or even acknowledgment from the heavy hitters tho most get respect from the lower masses. By far the 2 most helpful are TafkaSteve and John Routan from Audio Connection in NJ.
I talk to many here via email and phone so those folks know my respect and appreciation runs deep and for the others including Tvad, Kftool, Shadrone, Audiophiel, Ozzy, Tarasound, and many others are a wealth of knowledge even if I troll the post's without participation... I am still learning from many here.

Dear Ken: The Analog Agon forum is really a great universal audio reference library for all of us and day by day " suffer " an update, we can't ask for more!!!, Thank you to all of you.

Every single day I learn from many of what is posted else where. IMHO, the other people experiences ( bad or good ones ) are always " gold " for every one and we have it for free!!!!

Regards and enjoy the music.

I will join in expressing my appreciation for this community of fellow audio nuts. To those who contribute their time, experiences and advice in the Audiogon forums, thank you. And to those willing to ask questions, seek advice and simply share experiences, thank you; I learn as much, many times, from the questions posed by members seeking some advice or help as I do from the responses offered. Even when I'm not engaged in a particular conversation, I'm reading and learning from the experiences being shared.

A characteristic of this online community that I value highly is the overall courtesy and civility displayed by members in their interactions with each other (for the most part). That courtesy is what makes Audiogon a special place for all of us to come together to learn and share. When courtesy breaks down, as it does occasionally, it is a welcome sign to see members chime in to help move the dialog in a more positive and constructive direction. That is a particular strength of the Audiogon Forums that is a credit to the membership at large.

I look forward to our continuing conversations together!

I echo Rushton's sentiments (hope everything is going well in you new abode). I've had the opportunity to help a few folks out with the odd product manual, and I've gotten help a couple of times in the form of product advice or repair how-to's. The give and take, mostly positive, in the forums is part of what makes this a community. Plus, thanks to the Members Systems forums I finally have proof for my other half that I'm not the only one!

The joy of the hobby is enhanced by those who will share their perspective and understanding to help us still on the upward climb. I will further state that Overture in Wilmington has been great. This combination has made the pursuit of music that I can afford and aspire to fun. The time spent by those mentioned and more is truly appreciated by many. Thanks, Steve
