Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?


I think we have.  I have seen many discussion on audio forums and how nasty they can become when you have people disagreeing. Seems like there are a lot more know it alls now. I been in 20 years and I can still learn.  But I also know I know quite a bit. Like cables can enhance the sound and higher end well designed gear can truly be ear candy special.  Is this just on audio forums or the internet period.

“Those of us who buy things - and want feedback from others who own similar equipment - are at a loss to find fellow users in all the bullshit of "power conditioners dont work"  "cables are a waste of money" bullshit form those who have never owned these things.”

What about the ones who have owned them? 

 

I think the Hoffman forums cater to what you are looking for in likeminded audiophiles 

@uberk exactly.  Man I would rather not deal with the cable naysayers and equipment don’t make a difference crowd.  I literally upgraded my power supply to my streamer and the difference is a big jump.  I would rather talk about that without people jumping in with no experience babbling on about nothing saying I can’t hear a difference when I’m sitting in my house with my system hearing a difference.

Would love to engage with fellow McIntosh and Nordost users ... without all the BS. Still looking for a forum like that

Audioaficionado.org "The Friendly Forum For High-End Audio." It has many experienced users and none of the nonsense that sometimes plagues threads here.

@uberk as you see someone trying to tell us what forums that cater to us. Because we don’t agree with them.  Jeez
