Audio Kharma website

I hang out on AK and my system is excess of $65,000 with McIntosh, Audio Research, Krell, Sony SACD, B&W Nautilus, and transparent cables.

I also am tickled to death at finding good sounding gears for a few hundred $ that comes way too close to my main system for comfort.

One of my 3rd systems I assembled for $70 and it sounds quite good! If you heard that, you would agree... It's Denon Cd-Receiver with Klipsch KG speakers. What a synergy it has - provides good music while I soak in warm water (please be very careful not to let water near electricity - as we all know, if you too have a system there)

Some people don't have the money to spend like some of us, but they deserve great music too - please don't knock it.

You guys are doing great! We are only 1093 posts behind.

Liquid-smooth,

Nice Story! I don't believe a word of it.

I have learned a lot at AK. There is much more to it than the Bacon thread. There are a lot of talented techs both professional and serious hobbyists that contribute.

Another thing I like about AK is their appreciation of quality vintage audio. Yes, I appreciate the high end. I have Ear, Thiel, and Audio Research gear running currently, but I also love vintage gear. The build quality surpasses most contemporary pieces and the audio is generally very good to excellent.

If you are of limited financial means (most people are), AK is a great place to find out about quality audio that is within reach. For a lot of people that rules out $500 cables. But hey, I have some nice cables, and while I bought them for a reason, they are really the smallest part of the overall equation. Decent cables can be bought for $50.

Oh and I have heard the uber high end too. Sorry, it is simply not that good. If you have the money, have at it. It is beautiful stuff. But not having it does not preclude you from a quality audio experience.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
