Snobbiest audio websites

Believe it or not IMO the snob factor is disappearing in HEA. In the past 5 years after the great recession(2007-10) the mega-buck guys(100k+ systems) that remain are in HEA more for the music then bragging rights. To answer the question... I would have to say Audio Asylum(not a member) due to the frequent mean spirited responses.

Audio Asylum is a good choice, but Hydrogen Audio has them all beat. Those people are so arrogant and stupid, you have to see it to believe it. They only allow you to post comments that agree with.

To me the gear is a means to an end...that end being the music. I do have some pretty decent stuff but it's just as much fun wrapping about modestly priced combos as it is the mega $$$ setups. I won't mention any names but I hear you about the snobbery and the constant product validation.

Whatsbestforum and the PS Audio forum come to mind.
