Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts?

Having been on a number of different audio forums, one thing that is clearly a consistent, is that the forum owners usually have an agenda. ( and it has nothing to do with hobbyists talking about audio).Some want to make it a money making tool, others a soap box for which to spout their beliefs, others a way of advertising their online store etc.,

To that, we have a number that like to increase their on line exposure by having moderators that either do very little to control the site, or way too much…acting like little dictators and attempting to push their egos onto others.
Luckily, I believe this site is more moderate/even keeled, with the site owners seeming interested primarily in the commerce side of things.

Very well said for me...

My best to daveyf

Well @daveyf from the amount of spam email I get since joining this site, from this site, the agenda here is clear. I can live with though. 

I think the differences are mostly down to ownership and moderation. WBF's owners are active participants and their moderation policy is open and transparent.

This place - who knows what/who the moderators are and when/where they will strike?

Try Audio Asylum.
