Audio Kharma website


Do people take this website serious. They have a thread about bacon that has over 1000 posts. One guy was complaining that audio was an expensive hobby but only had 300.00 tied up in his system. They think that audio made during the 70's blows away gear made in 2013. I can't figure out if these people took to much acid back in the day or are people really that stupid.

I wonder what the AK site's policy on "snake oil" is?

Audiogon does not seem to have any.

IS that good because of no censorship or bad because of reduced credibility?
Taters,

You realize of course that there are way more people in the world who are interested in bacon, rummage sales, and Sears stereos then there are interested in most things discussed here, right?

Think of AK as community college. SOme may graduate to this site and actually become fully indoctrinated audio nutcases, if they can afford it. :^)
Yeah, so those ak guys seem to be a bunch of dumpster rooting, thrift fair tootin simpletons.

Now, here's the million dollar question...

Sound quality/dollars spent ratio.

Who wins?

Audiogoners?

Or AKers?
At last summers Capital Audiofest, the DIY'ers had some of the best sound I heard in the show. Did not look like much, but with some know how, they put the fancy stuff there on notice for a fraction of the cost. A real eye/ear opener. I would expect to find more stuff like that on another site, but not here on A'gon. Performance matters here but style is also a factor. The DIY'ers proved that style was not critical to having good sound.

A little know-how can go a long way when it comes to these things, bacon or not.
