Best and Worst Websites in Audio'dom

It occurred to me today, as I was perusing various audio-related websites that some of them are REALLY bad.

We all know that AudiogoN is the BEST website (at least in my book), but who's got the WORST website?

Let's hear your nominations for the Best and Worst and what you think makes it so good/bad.

BEST - AudiogoN - Easy to navigate, very intuitive, LOVE the forums. And finally...THE CLASSIFIEDS!!

WORST - Audiopoints/StarSound/HarmonicPrecision/Sonoran/Sistrum/MicoBearing - What a freakin' mess. I hold no negative opinion regarding their products. I've used AudioPoints and Sonoran Cables and thought both were good. But the website! Eeesh! The pictures of the products are not flattering (look at those Caravelles!) and the layout is just atrocious. The info about the Harmonic Precision Amplifier says that "the fun begins once more in 2003". Huh? '03 has come and gone! I could go on, but you get the idea.

So let's hear your nominations.

Audiogon is my favortite site period and the only site, other than weather, that I visit regularly.

I agree about the cable sites. I was going to comment about Synergistic Research's naked chick but, they have a baby picture up now. I guess that makes sense though. It's still a difficult site to navigate.

I agree with Tireguy. The Sonus Faber site is just bizarre.

Best:

1. mulletsgalore.com

2. audioasylum.com

3. audiogon.com

I visit a couple other great specialty sites (geared towards single driver and/or high efficiency speakers), but figure the above 3 to be real crowd pleasers.
