Default New Audiogon Site

I went to Audiogon today, and it looks like they have their new format running. I think they have just ruined the site. What do you guys think?

I think it is time for Ivan to make his new buy sell trade site now, with a more sensible fee structure than Audiogon, and a better interface.

I had A'gon open in another tab and when I went to update it, it brought up the new format. Quite a change for sure. I'm sure once people get used to it and some things get streamlined it will be fine. We'll just have to wait and see...

So far it is painfully slow and after many years of using A'gon, it is going to take some getting used to . . .

Just tried using audiogon, and many links are broken. I will wait a few days and try then. Loke anything else it will take time to get familiar with the new format and layout.

I just remember how when a search was done, it would categorize by type, such as within amps, the multi channel amps would be first, then solid state, then tubes, and so on. Now you can list by many categories,but not like it was. Time will tell.

Painfully slow. Bet they are scrambling to get that fixed.

Too slow to be usable. And I was just thinking about selling my UnitiQute there. I may wait.

A refresh was needed, I just hope they get things right.

It would be nice if they updated that archaic message board too.

I had to clear my cache before it would allow me into the new format.
