I'm perplexed as to why so many posters would spend time exerting so much negative energy towards Audio Karma. Why is this so important that its worth your time to post the negative?
My primary experience with AK was when I was researching McIntosh equipment. Based upon this I thought it was a good resource for learning about McIntosh. In addition, I was left with the impression that it's a good site if a hobbyist is into vintage equipment and/or DIY.
I didn't sense that the level of bias toward certain topics was any more so than any other site -- including the 'Gon.
My current favorite site is computeraudiophile.com. It is informative, straightforward, relatively objective and it seems to have less negative energy exerted by its members than other sites.
That's my $0.02.
