Me, many things, but at the top (or near the top); the respect and civility and camaraderie.
...Simply put; the overall good harmony.

I think respect is key to everything else. With respect you advance. ...In everything about higher learning, and better sharing.

I could expand tremendously about this, but I won't, at least for now. :D ...Now your turn.
 
R-E-S-P-E-C-T. We're not like them. Too many forums turn into bashing contests. We can agree to disagree and leave it at that. We don't need to trot out charts and graphs to prove what someone hears is wrong. There is no black or white here, just different shades of grey.
 
What I like about this place is it's special, no bs, no disrespect is tolerated & the crap is kept out diligently. Music is all about emotion & the site is a follow on in a positive affirmation that celebrates that intelligence. We are a bunch of guys & girls that do what we do with a passion & it shows. Who's got the most friends or who drops the most names around here just don't cut it, we are what it is!
 
It's all been said already above. I also like that I can read and talk about gear I will never hear, see, or own but can learn about it and dream.
 
1.The people!!! I don't often like people, but all you guys(and girlz) are pretty cool. :)
2.The knowledge!!! Lots of people willing to share their experiences and help others .
3.The "on topic attitude" most everyone here talks about audio, not their personal problems and issues.
4.the fact that I can have a turntable, tube pre and amp, and the next guy can have dac, ss amps and pre, and there are not 20 threads arguing about what's better. We just accept that whatever a certain person is into is their thing and neither is wrong or right. And a normal grown up discussion can come out of it.
Not sure what to call that... Respect?
Gooooo shark!!!!!!
 
I acknowledge and approve all of the above...lol

Seriously, the mature and respectful way people post. Agree/disagree, its all very friendly. Everyone's opinion is respected...even when they are wrong ..LOL :exciting:

And in truth, while this site leans heavily toward the higher end (geeze Mike, make everyone feel like Oliver Twist why dontcha...lol), anyone posting on the middle to lower end feels just as comfortable. Envious and drooling but comfortable. Sort of like being Megan Fox's boyfriends best bro. I can't afford it but tell me about it and show me pictures anyway.

All kidding aside, you guys are the best.
 
I try to recommend gear that isn't in the stratosphere. JOB225 (actually Joe was the pioneer on this one), Emerald Physics speakers, etc.

I thinks its more challenging and fun to find the diamonds in the rough. The key is to be honest with yourself and when a $1600 amp trumps a $10,000 amp - its important to say so - and everyone wins.

I've learned an awful lot from you guys too. I like how we have expertise in different areas - Bob for HT/multichannel, Jeff for Vinyl, E for Computer Audio, Joe for amps, Mark for best bang for the buck, and the list goes on and on.
