I envy what you know, not what you have


A gonner for a few years, I've built a system that makes me happy.

The room, speakers, amps, a tollerant wife; what more can you ask?--- musical knowledge!

I've read postings, as we all have, from those on Audiogon who carry the most weight; their experience in both, music and gear, define their reputation.

I will mention a few in alphabetical order; I'm sure I will offend many since since I need to finish this thread before Sue comes in to say that supper is ready, It's 9 PM. early tonight!

Albert Porter, Clio, Dougdeacon, Rauliregas, Rushton, Sirspeedy, Audiophile, and many more, to hell with the alphabet -- I know I've missed many, I'm sorry.

This thread is both a statement and a question. How many of you have made a decision that improved your audio experience because of one of the many top flight Audiogonners' postings? Did you ever let them know you're happy that you capitalized on their knowledge and experience? Even if you did , now is the time to say thanks, I know I will!!

I have to chime in on this subject, because I am in total agreement with Kftool.

Fastly approaching my 50th year, I decided to dust off the old high school vinyl, dump the old Pioneer PL12d and insert a nice rig into my 2 channel (poor man's) high end system.

I won't bore you with gear details, but will get to the point: If it hadn't been for all of you knowledgable veterans having the patience to answer simple stupid questions that have been asked time and again, I would not be drooling in awe of what i am hearing coming out of my new vinyl rig in my system. I knew nothing about tt pre-amps, cartridge loading, cart and tone-arm set-up, cleaning formulas, etc, etc.....absolutely nada!!!!

Thank you, veterans...guys like Dougdeacon, Rauliregas, Audiophile, psychicanimal, Seasoned, Stringreen, and many many more that I have failed to mention, for giving me a great education, as well as an enlightened appreciation for this hobby and for vinyl.

Best Regards!
