@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.

@daveyf I'm sure you are right. I don't spend much time at WBF, nor here for that matter. A classic case of people not being qualified to have an opinion, yet having one anyway, lol.

All is good with the world unless you look through the window.

The worst forum i ever encountered, and i tried three or four times on a 8 years time, arbitrary applications of rules, gang like behaviour, financial evident interest for some company, same few ego driven "star", guru/disciples relationship ... etc :)

Ignorance in acoustic and cult of brand name as in many audiophile circle for sure but with their prefered brandname to sell ...Annoying..

I dont go in forums so much to answer technical questions, most of the time i received answer talking wisely with any reasearch motor like Google ... Nobody explain me acoustic on any forum, i was in the obligation to read scientific articles more that reading threads...But in this forum for example a friend give me advice about springs for example to control vibrations and for sure this was helping.... But thats all , the research was mine to do the job...I prefer the friend who give me the information to the information itself for sure...

I come here to discuss music and sound with other friendly people... The human part matter way more than any peculiar specific information... At the end...

These audio forums are necessary to encounter some other humans for me with interest in sound and music and other matters too why not? ... The necessary audio Information i can look for it without any forums anyway ...I consider all people here as potential friends, even if we discussed "hard".... I dislike forums who pretend to be only and mainly informative, only "scientific" or only "subjective" i dont need them, save for a special peculiar question about a scientific fact in audio or about a brand i want to buy , one time or two in all my life...

i like people not information... I prefer books to forums for information...

Most people on any audio forum dont even know what "timbre" is and how to modify it in a room ...Why asking ? And it is impossible to explain because it is very complex to do and differ from one speakers/room to another one anyway... I dont need information at all i need friends to spoke with... Information which is given between two friends is only a + not the main part at all most of the times...

Anyway i am in sonic heaven more than ever and even any upgrade seems useless because of the price to do it (20,000 dollars) , i will never need any more information; :)

Then i come for friends i dont need information... I need the "name" of the friends i recognized and learned to know and discuss with , with time passing...Even if we disagree...

Agree regarding WBF. Most folks there are knowledgeable and friendly without an agenda except some of the moderators. If a moderator posts there I just ignore that post.
