How did you hear about Audiogon?


My audio experience has definately changed (most of the time for the better) ever since I started logging on to Audiogon. I am curious how did you fellow audiogoners heard about this website? I know I didn't hear about it from any of my local dealers. They always give me this dirty look when ever I mention about this website while visiting their stores. Also, I am wonder how they came up with the name Audiogon? The name probably reflects more of a selling site rather than an audio forum. If you had a chance to name this site what would you call it? I think I would call it, www.audioswapmeet.com, just to put some sense of humor into it. One a side note, I used to logon a lot the first few months after discovering the website. My wife started to wonder if I had a online girlfriend. I told her most of the guys here are like me, who spends more time playing with their equipments than with the opposite sex. (keep it clean guys)

Let me start by saying that I heard of this site when searching on the web for some product infomation. What started as a personal knowledge journey turned into a journey costing thousands of dollars.

Believe it or not, from a DEALER. And not only that, but a dealer that doesn't advertise on Audiogon. I was about to "replunge" myself into the cauldron of audio and was looking for a turntable. Most of the delares near me are HT nuts and think of a turntable as something on which to spin plasma TV for better views. He suggested Audiogon. I will not mention his name in the spirit of saving his house and car from rock throwing! :-)
