Just a kind word of thanks


Back in early June I posted a response to a reader requesting feedback impressions of a particular table / arm combination that I just happened to own. While responding to this post I mentioned that I was running my Benz Glider cart. at 47K Ohms. Another Audiogon member "Zaikesman" replied that this setting was not correct for this particular cart. We then went off line and over to direct e-mail for some detailed discussions. After several pages of pleasent detailed education I started to experiment with my C-J EF1 phono stage. I finally became satisifed with 500 ohms at 52dB of gain. The wonderful thing about this experience was that a fellow Audiogon member took the time and energy to help educate another member in incredible detail. This is the reason why I love this site, and continue to buy / sell from this site. Good people with a love for high end equipment and music, willing to share knowledge and experience in a unselfish fashion!

You've just touched upon what I've been thinking for some time, but never expressed it. I have not had any personal contact with anyone help wise, but I have learned so much from everyone on this site. I can't wait to get home everyday and read (learn) something new. One problem I do have however, is those of you who respond to questions by saying "this question has been asked too many times, look in the archives." What you must realize, is that some of us are either new, or are too stupid to have even thought of that question in the first place, so when someone asks a question, others of us are thinking, yea, I've been wondering that too. If no one else brings it up, we may have not really even realized we were wondering about it, so would never have thought to look in the archives for answers. For those of you that do not wish to re answer the same old questions,over and over again (understandable enough), if you could at least give us a direct clue to where to look for specific threads in the archives it would be helpful. Not just amp,cables,speakers, etc. I have tried to look for threads for questions I have, but sometimes I just don't know how to or what to ask, so I'm at your mercy.
Anyway, keep up the great work to everyone who uses this site, you are truly what keeps this sport alive.
