"I think UK audio forums are just marketing tools, you can't believe a word of what's written on them. If they're not trying to sell you something, they're trying to pick a fight with you."
No don't be polite, tell us what you really think. As a UK resident, I dabble on the Pink Fish site, but it is'nt as useful as the gon. I have asked a number of technical questions on this site and received considered, intelligent advise, which i have followed to some degree, with great success. That has led me into buying some US products, not such a bad thing with the current $ price. Pink Fish does'nt seem to have the same knowledge base, or perhaps the contributors are better at hiding their ignorance. The Audiogon classifieds are a mine of great kit at great prices, for us Europeans, too. All in all, I greatly prefer Audiogon.
