Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts?

Something different, but better? You have to decide.

Whats Best Forum and Audio Aficionado

I have tried other sites, for better or worse, this is the best one. I agree with @grislybutter - some people today are just not tolerant of a different opinion and drag a post into the dirt. It took a while, but I have finally learned to move on and not respond to them. Better for my mental health.

Lots of really good people and info on this site, just don't get dragged into the mud. 

There isn't a good one.

Some of the technical threads on PS Audio’s Forum are interesting. Avoiding threads with disappearing OPs seems like good advice.

Audio Aficionado is a good site. No trolls or politics allowed.
