Worked for me, and I have way better performance than I could otherwise have afforded because of it.For that matter, Borders puts TAS and Stereophile in more peoples' hands than all the high end salons combined.
Welcome to the 21st C. Like it or not that's the way it is.

Discussion forums like AA and Audiogon led me to links to web sites of every description. Imagine an audio magazine where, in addition to reading whatever is presented, you can:
- post questions to a worldwide body of experienced enthusiasts
- search for information on any imaginable topic and get answers/opinions going back several years
- find immediate links to up-to-date literature from nearly any manufacturer, as well as dealers, critics, labs, etc.
- get advice directly from product designers/buildersOh. And you can do this all in real time while sitting at your desk at work or home. If you care at all about music reproduction in the home, how could you NOT find high end audio on the internet?

Speaker building friend gave me a link to a web page on speaker building. That led to other pages on building speakers.Next, a guy at work bought an old Heathkit tube amp on eBay, and it's been downhill ever since.
Been a regular at CES for the last few years, plus HE-2003 and VSAC. Met others with the same interests via boards like this. Got to know a few of the "heavy hitters" on Asylum;-).
Don't subscribe to either TAS or Stereophile, and really don't need "high end audio stores" but that doesn't mean others don't. To each his own.
here at our own beloved AA. I have learned enormous amounts about high end gear from the nutcases at this site. Also at Audiogon and many other sites. I have learned much less in real life, so to speak. That's partly due to the fact that there are no high end dealers near me. (See above post.)
