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.

This thread has been extremely entertaining.Audio geek humor gives us a break from obsessing over our system's flaws.
BTW-Audio Karma is the Jerry Springer of audio websites.
And this thread is the Geraldo's Al Capone's vault
This is starting to remind of the preacher who screams about gays right up till one is found in his hotel room.
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.
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?
I finally get it! This is all about the fact that he can't eat bacon and he's envious of other audiophiles who flaunt their love the cured meat. My scorn has now turned to pity.
I agree with TATER. Mr Moderator, we cannot allow a stupid thread gap!!! Next thing you know, those people on AK will be polluting our precious bodily fluids!

Viva Tater!!!

Cheers

I would love to join in this 'debate', but since I am not an Audiophile, I am not qualified. :(
Jmcgrogan2,

I don't see AK deleting the 1150 posts about bacon! I'll make you a deal convince them to take down the bacon thread and I'll be happy to write the moderators here and tell them to take down this thread.

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?

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.

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.
I'm sorry there is no pictures of sexy mean girls! At least you don't have 1150 posts about bacon.

P.S. If you are really into sexy mean girls come to L.A. I'll show you a ton of them!

This thread reminds me of one of those mean girl movies... without the sexy mean girls.

LOL!! The funniest and most poignant post yet!!

Llanger,

I would rather deal with people who are living in the 21st century even if they can't spell Kharma right. BTW- Today's exciting topic on AK is TOTL Realistic products. That's the equivalent of talking about the top of the line Yugo, Vega or Pinto cars. Give me a break!
Taters,
Just having some fun!You are spot on about AK.The newest hot threads are hilarious!

Jtcf,

This Isn't exactly AK.(Thank god) People here are a bit more serious than the AK crowd. Some people even criticized me for posting this thread. Even though everything I said was true.
Rsfphil,

Don't be offended! I looked at you're system and you are not a dumpster diver. In fact you have a nice balanced set-up, enjoy.
Jtcf,

If we turned this into a bacon shoot out would it get over 1000 hits like it did on AK?
How about a bacon "shoot out" comparing the various brands.When consumed immediately before a listening session,which one enhances the experience?
It's okay, you can have bacon. This is Agon. Love to hear your take on the flavor.
Hey Sudz (Taters). You keep this crap up and you will be kicked off this site. Then where will you go? You've been banned from almost every audio site out there.
Onhwy61,

I won't post on AK. They are Nazi's and will censor my post!

I can have a peanut butter cookie but without bacon.
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!

Jmcgrogan2,

Those are actually threads that are on AK right now!

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?
Chadnliz,

My point was I don't want to listen to music with a dumpster diver because they stink!

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.
Pride Goeth before A Fall.

Could be why 'your hobby' is on life support.

Cheers

Chadnliz,

I'll take the guy with the 50k in gear and 75 audiophile records over the dumpster diver any day of the week.

I do agree that this hobby is on life support.
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.

Rok2id,

I hope you are just kidding!

Taters, read some of his threads....he's not kidding.
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.
