Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts?


I don't want to say I have outgrown this site but I do know

I want more. 

 

There are many other sites but where are the forums where people

talk about new gear? What's Best is terrible to try to maneuver thru.

 

Others??

 

Best,

Having been on a number of different audio forums, one thing that is clearly a consistent, is that the forum owners usually have an agenda. ( and it has nothing to do with hobbyists talking about audio).Some want to make it a money making tool, others a soap box for which to spout their beliefs, others a way of advertising their online store etc.,

To that, we have a number that like to increase their on line exposure by having moderators that either do very little to control the site, or way too much…acting like little dictators and attempting to push their egos onto others.
Luckily, I believe this site is more moderate/even keeled, with the site owners seeming interested primarily in the commerce side of things.

 

@rooze WBF is actually a good example of a site that is run to enable all of the points that I stated in my prior post. One of the owners has consistently pushed products, that he happens to also represent, onto his members. You think their moderation policy is open and transparent, really?? IMO, the mods here are far more consistent and transparent than over there...YMMV.
