Every site has its place in the audio world. Audiogon is deep in traditional audiophile knowledge and values. I started the heavy lifting in audio 30+ yrs ago with tube amplifiers, turntables, speakers the size of small refrigerators, and so on. The search for ultimate quality in sound reproduction lives on in Audiogon, as well as other places. But Head-Fi.org is a matter entirely.
My appreciation for desktop audio, computer sound, and headphone listening has grown steadily for 5+ years, and after discovering and joining Head-Fi.org recently, I've learned an incredibly amount in a short time. That community is everything Rebbi says--a deep & diverse knowledge resource, as well as a very flexible platform for buying and selling equipment germane to these pursuits.
My love of music, live and recorded, has been a constant since childhood. And now these file-based platforms, along with superior headphone designs, make this an exciting time to play with audio.
