A new site has opened since January. It was created with the audiophile hobbiest in mind. DIY projects, photo showcase, review post, forums, classifieds, tweaks and much more are offered. Check it out!

I've seen that forum mentioned a few times here and on another forum somewhere...
I don't like it because:
The name, what audio was sold? (Was this an auction site before?)
More of the same info in a hobby saturated with forums
Not much sense of community
Flames from guests
Lack of activity
Lack of depth of knowledge
Lastly, the graphics look like a manufacturer's site.. for software. It looks like a template that wasn't well integrated with its content.

So, yes, I've seen it. Sorry to ream it a new one....

Audio old? Nothing like listening to "old" vintage Altec Lansing Horns! Look at these...

I did check it out, for a while. Then I removed it from my bookmark file. Not much there and almost nothing being sold.

I met the owner of this site at the Audiofest last year in Lima. He struck me as a nice guy. It takes awhile for this site to get established but I agree that the software could be better.
