I'd like to see an Audiogon members' equipment and music review forum. It could include an outline for criteria of the review. The forum could allow for other members to comment on their experience with the reviewed equipment, especially paired-up with different components and cables. The music forum can allow for Audiogon members to review some of their favorite (or new) cd's and albums. Other members can comment on the review from their own musical perspective. Although there are other audio websites that have equipment reviews, I believe that Audiogon members would provide a higher level of sophistication.
Suggested NEW CATEGORIES
Yesterday I emailed Audiogon that they create 2 new listings in their audio categories: "VINTAGE" & "TABLE RADIOS"
Many of us have, desire, or admire VINTAGE (for me that's pre-1980) audio gear. Much of these items are sold on (ahem) eBay...when they would do better, I believe, at Audiogon. How say ye?
Likewise, there are literally 10's of thousands of various TABLE RADIOS from the 1920's through the 1960's...georgeous to look at, warm and rich sounding (not all, mindyou), and can make a pointed addition to your home's decor. ADDISON radios, made in Toronto, are multi-coloured beauties which can fetch thousands of dollars. Adding such a category would also serve to "cross-pollinate" many collectors in the general populace with the audiophile community...a good thing...do you agree?
Audiogon has replied that they "will consider" such a suggestion. Any support from the members can only HELP!
