How much do we at A'gon influence the industry?


Hi everyone,
Just a question that's been in my head for a little bit. How important do you folks feel this forum is to the audio industry at large in the Ensligh speaking countries?  I ask because I often see some taking it way too seriously, and personally.

I mean, I know times are tough, being a boutique audio manufacturer is not easy at any level in the audio industry, so I can really understand how negative buzz for your product can directly relate to your livelihood.
On the other hand, it's just A'gon. I doubt most audiophiles even come here very often.
What do you all think?

Best,

E

Erik, thanks for the interesting post. I've been an Audiogon member off and on for probably 20+ years and used to be pretty active buying and selling. I retired recently and now have more time to spend on Audiogon.I actually use the posts to learn about equipment, system setup, new music etc. I find it very valuable. And I also see there are retailers who are here often to use the forums as a sales platform. I would find it hard to believe manufacturers aren't aware of things said or sales completed on Audiogon.
