Dan's Reviews, Auditions, and How-To-Do Index
 
I thought it might be useful for members interested in my reviews, auditions, and how-to projects to post an index with links to these various threads. They are posted in no particular order and there may be others I missed locating in my search. I hope you find this index to be a useful resource.

Impressive list. I've been reading your reviews without fully understanding the scale of your work.

Thanks for the index. I'll read the ones I've missed and I'll be waiting for the next reviews.

Dan... What an amazing resource! Thanks for providing the initial post; and now making them easy to find. :thumbsup:

Dennis.......It took a few hours of searching AA's thread index. There are probably other reviews I have overlooked, but this index provides a good starting place for those interested. I did this mostly for the newer members that may not have dug back through the archived threads.

Thank you gentlemen. There is a lot of fun reading and tidbits of useful information associated with these threads. Sometimes I will go back and read an entire thread from the first post to the last. Occasionally I'll pick up on something I overlooked and always enjoy the read.

Pedro.......The length of the index even surprises me. Through the years I find myself writing but not paying much attention to the total threads. I enjoy clicking on these older threads and reading from beginning to end. In the future I will add links to any new reviews just to make it easier if and when someone needs to research something in one of my reviews.

Doug.......Believe it or not, I take quite a few phone calls from members who have questions or needed help with an issue. My PM inbox stays busy. I certainly don't know as much as I would like to know, but when I can help someone with an issue it is satisfying.

Yes, I have been one of those callers sometime seek helps for my system setup. Thanks for your time and effort helping others. In fact, I purchased the men220 right after I read Dan's useful review. Love it. Thnx.

bachrocks 11-22-2013 09:47 PM

Dan, this is very helpful. To an extent, I have built my system around your preferences. Actually, I believe they are my preferences, too. That's one reason your writings are so helpful. Based on the few components I have heard that you reviewed, I think we have very similar tastes in sound. Lucky me, of course, I can read your reviews as an ersatz audition of the component. Geez, Dan, I could go on and on about this, but I fear being demoted from a devoted admirer to just a silly fanboy :)

Thank you,
ron

jdandy 11-22-2013 09:52 PM

Ron.......You made me smile. Thanks. . :)
