There really is allot of disinformation "out there." Almost all of what I've learned about this hobby has been from the good folks on the Gon, especially the illustrious group mentioned here on this post. I too am a newbie and do allot more reading than posting- but I try to contribute as much as I can (usually subjects pertaining to music). I leave the technical side of this hobby to the experts above and truly appreciate their inputs. Thank you.
Can I nominate Sean please ?
Someone mentioned that Sean was the" Audio Altruist of the Year" in a thread I was reading tonight.This was due to his exhaustive generosity in sharing his knowlege with everyone so unselfishly and so often. I responded in agreement in the thread but felt it should be reintroduced . I have learned more in 6 months reading past discussions he was involved in than 10 years of talking with audio salespeople who ooze misinformation at every gasp and audio journalism with commercial agendas. I too nominate Sir Sean as " Audio Altruist of the Year " . Honorable mentions go out to others who also give of themselves and who I follow as well. These are but a few : Albertporter , Dekay , Detlof , Gunbei , Psychicanimal , TWL , Phasecorrect , Sugarbrie , tok2000 , Tireguy , Mejames , subarguru , zaikesman , Stehno and Mike Lavigne. For those I forgot or left out ; my apologies. So here is a toast to you Sean; may we all stay in touch and be friends .
