October of 1999 for me. I remember learning a lot from others and the many interesting discussions about the technical merits of different design choices in the current gear of the day, as well as discussions about cable making, tweaks and room treatments, and the frequent humor throughout....not really so different from now. I do miss being able to communicate openly with other members by email because IMO that added to a sense of community. I also wonder what happened to Sean and, even though he mostly posted at that other site, I miss Bob Crump's humor.
In all that time, Audiogon has been, and remains, the best place to buy and sell audio gear. They have taken occasional criticism through the years, and they do not match everyone's own personal version of perfection, but nobody yet has consistently done it better.
