I’m fairly new to Audiogon. There is much to like here but I find the downsides compared to other hi-fi forums are two fold:
1. The propensity for click-bait thread titles, which would go away if people ignored them, but unfortunately the click-baiters know their game too well. Recent examples: “High end is dead?”, “Isolation stands: snakeoil?”, “What matters and what is nonsense”, “beware the audio guru”, “Integrateds:why do they all SUCK?”, “Cartridges: complete scam?”, ”ClassD=Trash?”.
Come on Audiogoners, just ignore these click-baiters, they don’t deserve a response!
2. The other downside is the propensity of certain people to bicker and bitch to each other. Yes this happens on reddit all the time, but other hifi forums keep things civil. There is no need to insult other people, even if they ARE wrong in their belief that mains power cables don’t make a difference ;)
It’s a shame the forum does not allow photos, but other than that it is clean, intuitive, and easy to use.
And the email daily updates are great, no one else does that.
