Just a kind word of thanks

Back in early June I posted a response to a reader requesting feedback impressions of a particular table / arm combination that I just happened to own. While responding to this post I mentioned that I was running my Benz Glider cart. at 47K Ohms. Another Audiogon member "Zaikesman" replied that this setting was not correct for this particular cart. We then went off line and over to direct e-mail for some detailed discussions. After several pages of pleasent detailed education I started to experiment with my C-J EF1 phono stage. I finally became satisifed with 500 ohms at 52dB of gain. The wonderful thing about this experience was that a fellow Audiogon member took the time and energy to help educate another member in incredible detail. This is the reason why I love this site, and continue to buy / sell from this site. Good people with a love for high end equipment and music, willing to share knowledge and experience in a unselfish fashion!

Zaikes and Twl are model citizens. If Audiogon were Plato's republic they'd be our philosopher-kings, seekers of truth who lead only because they have the knowledge to do so, not because they in any way crave leadership. (Let's hope they don't decide to move to California!)

I too have been assisted in similar ways. Ultimately, I owe a debt of gratitude not only to the 'Goners I've dealt with in the past but also, undoubtedly, to those I'll work with in the future.

Dougdeacon summed it up for me. Zaikes is knowledgable and informative through the threads. Twl is very giving of his time and expertise too. Great guys both. There are so many unsung heroes here.

This IS a great sanctuary, isn't it?

Over the years I've received great personal help from many forum members, some even in this thread!

I'm such a nuisance, always asking questions!

Tom aka TWL, you are welcome and deserve many more cudos than I am able to express. I am glad to see the helpful members on this site get their just recognition for service above and beyond.

I very seldom post here, but I can assure you, I have visited this site daily since I found it approx. 6 months ago. I still know very little about analog HiFi, but I will keep coming back and learning. Hopefully someday I will be able to give back some of what has been so graciously given to me.

Great thread Quincy! Thank you!
