Audiogon/Asylum and magazine reviewers posts

Well, I don't know a blessed thing about the Asylum (I only have the room in my life for one these monumental time-fritterers!), but I do notice that the ol' StereoPile sure gets dumped on a lot around here (and not always without good reason), so maybe they just stay away so as not to get their feelings trampled. Then again, maybe it's even more of war-zone on the Asylum - what do I know (or care, really)? If I was them (the reviewers) though, I sure wouldn't ignore this forum, however uninformed or poorly-written it might tend toward being at times. Just the mere fact that this site has the extremely successful For Sale classifieds as well as a Forum guarantees its relevance in terms of viewing and participation by the very folks who make up a good portion of not only Stereophile's readership, but also the lifeblood of the high end industry.

Interesting topic, I personally don't care for the format of AA hence I have never posted there, it seems unorganized to me. If reviewers don't feel its worth their time- fine with me! I have noticed the few times I wandered over that things were a little too hokey for my palette(not that we are perfect at audiogon, but just my preference here) and the name calling and uncivil conduct just isn't my cup of tea- that's why we are allowed to do what we want when we want to thus the two different sites with there own fans. I have a funny feeling I know where I am staying Happy listening everyone ~Tim

I monitor Stereophile, but there is rarely anything in there worth reading.

Twl, best post of the week - right on brother!
