Audio Kharma website

The AK site is made up of all different types of people.
Some like vintage, some like modern
Some have $300 systems, some have $30,000 systems
Some like bacon...well, everyone likes bacon there.

If you read that thread from the beginning, some troll started a "Why are there so many audio snobs..." thread. That site is "All Audio No Attitude" and that's how they dealt with him, by completely changing the subject to something as mundane as bacon.

To be fair the reverse pops up here now and then so go figure.

There is a moderate problem of jealousy there for those who listen to higher priced gear.

Agree and agree.
I think the AK an AGon sites are more similar than some might think, just different reference points. Water seeks its own level, so to speak.

If you want to know how to hook up 2 sets of speakers to one receiver, post that question on AK.
If you want to know what "Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam", post that question on the 'Gon.

To be honest, both sound silly to me.

I think we should rename Audio Kharma. I don't see anything over there that is Kharma like.

Pick which name you like best.

Audio Sleazeball
Audio Cheapskate
Audio Bums
Audio Derelicts
Audio Losers
Audio Penney Pinchers
Audio Illiterates
Audio Dumpster divers
Audio Swine

If you have some better names I would like to hear them.

I'm beginning to think there is more to the story here. You sure some dude's silver faced Sony receiver didn't blow your system away and you're just trying to get even?
Or some bacon sandwich eating dude stole your lunch money in school?
C'mon, what gives? What's the real deal? You can't have that much angst simply because some guys like chaep stereo gear.

Taters - Much of what you say is true, I must agree. There is a good bit of reverse snobbery as it is referred to there. But I would say that there is probably no more attitude there than on this site for example, just attitude toward different things.
There are many there who are a little more balanced as well, on any site you can look at the extremes of the population for extreme examples. You should register and post about something you have or are looking to purchase. You may be surprised. But use a different moniker ;)
And 1978 is about right for the moment time stood still, at least for a good portion of the site.

Taters - I forgot to ask. You didn't tell me what moniker you'll use over there. How will I know it's you??

the OP. He has 35 of the 74 posts on this thread.

Make that 37

BTW-Audio Karma is the Jerry Springer of audio websites.

And this thread is the Geraldo's Al Capone's vault

Today's hot AK topics:

My favorite thread on the AK site is Pictures of Cats on Audio Gear. I visit the site and enjoy it, but always thought that thread had to be something else besides what the title suggests. After many months of bypassing it my curiosity got the best of me and I clicked. Guess what - It's a bunch of pictures of cats on audio gear. go figure.

The latest post, #2,289 (!!) reads, "here we have possum girl delaying my morning walk by presenting a terrific photo opportunity"
I don't think I'll ever click that thread again.

At least I'm not dumpster diving for gear or talking about a 6.00 reciever I just bought from the Salvation army.

Yes, you are so much better than that. You don't talk shit about $6 receivers, you talk shit about people.
