I gotta chime in on the Zaikesman love-fest. He actually took the time to call me and help setup my then Technics 1200. I had no clue how to do ANY of the setup, and he was a great teacher: knowledgable and never condescending.
TWL is another one, I wish he'd accept my offer to send him some vinyl as thanks. He spent an obviously substantial amount of time writing very detailed and thorough emails when I was looking for a new TT, and then helped me setup my Teres. It was an intimidating project, as I had spent thousands (!!) of dollars, and didn't want to screw any of it up, and he was there every step of the way (literally... it was like I couldn't do one thing before checking with Tom to make sure I was doing it right! :)
I have some really amazing sound coming out of my speakers, and I owe a lot of it to Audiogon, and especially Zaikesman and TWL. I hope one day I can pass on the help. THANKS!!!
