I’ve been around audio and groups for over 40 years. Tons of experience with various speakers, amps, cables, etc.  over 400 in feedback on Audiogon, alone.

’ve always tried to make new audio fans feel welcome. I’m taken aback that I have to post in order to be “ included”. I guess this is to keep out those who may not be serious enough or who would bring the level of the community down. However, sometimes I don’t have much to say and look to others opinions.

If those are the reasons, then I guess I understand. To a new comer, it sure feeds the old rumor that audio, esp. hi-end, is an exclusive little clique.

Welcome to AudioCircle Jeff! You are included as a member right now. You can post in almost every circle in our forum.

To protect our large membership from harassment from spammers we ask new members to make 3 admin-approved posts before gaining full access to our private message system and our classified ad section which are the targets of spammers. This gives us a chance to filter them before they can make a scene that's much harder to clean up than to prevent.
