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.

Sebrof,

It would be one thing if they liked there cheap stuff. I have no problem with that. But they are always putting down new gear or making fun of guys that try to put together high-end audio systems. They say they have no attitude but I find them to have more attitude than any site out there. Even if you go to sites where the guys have 200k systems. They still Interact with the guys with basic systems and they don't put them down. On AK if you mention you bought a power cord or Interconnect for more than 50.00 they will crucify you and gang up on you like a bunch of thugs. Plus the fact these people are so closed minded to anything new or modern. Out of all the audio sites out there this one is the least progressive. It's like time stopped for them in 1978.
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??
