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.

Hey Driver. The Crewe,Va. classified ad paper is/was Audiomart. I bought and sold several items many years ago through them. Nice folks. They should have jumped on the band wagon sooner and could have beat Audiogon to the punch to an internet site. The Gon is here to stay.
Browsing the internet a year ago in Feb., trying to find a site to sell my Linn LP-12 and Klyne SK-2A headamp, I found www.audioreview.com. After reading a few reviews, I came across one that mentioned he had bought his component on Audiogon. The rest is history. I sold both my units immediately on Audiogon, and I too, have been "gon" ever since. I have since enjoyed reading other audiophile websites, but Audiogon takes the cake. I also have had difficulties with my wife in her adjusting to my urge to be on this site. Be strong, fellow audiophiles.
