I'll say one thing when it comes to AK. No one has a better bacon thread.
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 read where someone on Audio Kharma said Jehova while talking about the bacon! |
To compare the 2 sites is ridiculous! Audiogon has a lot of Intelligent members with knowledge. AK has morons talking about bacon, dumpster diving, buying cable for .10 a foot, Yada, yada, yada. It's a really an Insult to Audiogon to make a comparison. I'm not saying Audiogon is perfect, but compared to AK it's like a god send. BTW-Audio Karma is the Jerry Springer of audio websites. |
04-23-13: Musicpod Not so many posters are posting negative energy Musicpod, only 1, the OP. He has 35 of the 74 posts on this thread. Most of the rest of us are just trying to figure out his mental anguish. Misplaced teenage angst perhaps? Mommy didn't love him enough? He does have some serious issues with others having their freedoms. He believes everyone should think like he does. Thank God we don't! Most of us believe in freedom!!! This thread is a tragic waste of bandwidth, and should be deleted, if the moderators are awake. |
I'm perplexed as to why so many posters would spend time exerting so much negative energy towards Audio Karma. Why is this so important that its worth your time to post the negative? My primary experience with AK was when I was researching McIntosh equipment. Based upon this I thought it was a good resource for learning about McIntosh. In addition, I was left with the impression that it's a good site if a hobbyist is into vintage equipment and/or DIY. I didn't sense that the level of bias toward certain topics was any more so than any other site -- including the 'Gon. My current favorite site is computeraudiophile.com. It is informative, straightforward, relatively objective and it seems to have less negative energy exerted by its members than other sites. That's my $0.02. |
Tater, what is the purpose of this thread? You dislike AK, but you seem to spend time there. Rather than posting here, wouldn't your complaints serve a better purpose on AK? Chill out and have a peanut butter and bacon cookie! |
04-18-13: Taters SO WHAT?????? There are plenty of websites that irritate me....I simply avoid them. You need to ask yourself why you feel the compulsion to constantly bang your head against a wall? In a sick way, are you enjoying the aggravation? Maybe you are a masochist? |
04-18-13: Taters Taters, seriously dude, you need therapy. Not just a therapy session once or twice a week. No, you my friend, need a team of therapists, studying you, talking about you, thinking about you around the clock, 24/7. (Seinfeld reference) Cheers, John |
Hmmm, I would rather vist a true music lover with a humble vintage rig who had a great music selection over a guy who only plays Diana K and Chesky recordings any chance I got. I understood you Tater up till your last post, at that point you lost me. People in this hobby can have it all, if they accept it all. |
Its not a crime to like old gear or even champion cheaper gear as everyone comes at things differently. The problem is while everyone comes at this hobby differently most on AK lost the fact we are all supposed to come together over loving the music played on whatever system or price. Again some here lost that ideal aswell equating money spent to actual love of music, shame on both right? Whats worse the dumpster diver or the guy with $50k in gear and 75 "audiophile" albums as his only listening pleasure? It does happen. Cheap, old, new, expensive, the tent should fit everyone because afterall the hobby as a whole remains on life support. |
chadnliz, I would never in a million years do there annual show in Michigan. I can't stand being around morons. If I went I would lose my temper and punch someone out. The funny thing is I've never seen any of them at the shows I do. When I think about it why would they be at a show I attend. They are only Interested in stuff made before 1978. |
