Does anyone know how to sustain the website content and provide full secure accessibility to continue user experiences for VinylEngine.com?
Those who have been around a while will expectedly know about and likely still have full access to VinylEngine.com. I found out about this amazing resource last year, as I began a hunt to optimize my expenditures for a TT, tonearm, cart and phonostage by exploring the used and even Vintage analog transcription audiophile resources. As I bounced around, between Audiogon and the other audiophile specialist sites as well as exploring the general new and used device online marketplace pages, the manuals and several reviews on VinylEngine.com.had been helpful in guiding my quest for information and insight. HOWEVER, I somehow lost my username, and/or password. I now find that the website administrator is no longer enabling new accounts, nor has he been able to validate my presumed username, nor password. He acknowledged in correspondence that new or reinstated accounts are not possible at this time and may never be again. The site offers an amazing archive and could be a useful resource aligned to a site such as AUDIOGON.There is a wholly separate, aligned website, HiFiEngine.com, managed by the same administrator(s) that is likewise of value for other gear, but the Analog focused accessibility of VinylEngine.com prompts me to explore sustaining that at least, and perhaps both sites, since the security protocols seem to be the reason there is "engine trouble," in general, between the two sites. I'd hate to see the site further diminish, and merely be remembered like an old AOL chat room, or a USENET newsgroup. There are unique sales brochures and instruction manuals available that may not be found elsewhere. .
This post began with, and shall end with the question, how can the audiophile community help sustain and reinvigorate the VinylEngine.com website content and support or provide full secure accessibility to continue valuable user information and experiences for the wide range of gear? Open to ideas...
