Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts?


I don't want to say I have outgrown this site but I do know

I want more. 

 

There are many other sites but where are the forums where people

talk about new gear? What's Best is terrible to try to maneuver thru.

 

Others??

 

Best,

“Experienced Audiophiles???”

 

Oh!! You mean HYPER OPINIONATED” audiophiles!!

How many sites do you want? 20? 30?

What can I say? I have what seem to be endless print subscriptions to both Absoluto Soundo and Stereo Fool. Enjoy the heck out of 'em, too. I'll tune to Idagio or Qobuz, open up a mag, and read 'till my eyes get blurry. A blissfully wasteful existence!

Money and toys and egos seldom make good omelet

 

 

And then someone thought an engineer brain would improve the taste. 

People with experience and knowledge tend to write in a way that exhibits that. I've started many threads here, and when my OP was carefully worded, the responses would typically lead to a coherent and informative exchange of views. This does not always happen but it frequently does. Check my threads to see what I mean.

The other thing an OP can do is to steer conversations back on track by restating the question or by summarizing what's been said that answers it. 

In other words, a good thread takes work and some minding by the OP. When people throw a vague question out there and then find they're in the middle of a food fight, that's not totally their fault but there's some need for additional due diligence.
