Audio Kharma website


Do people take this website serious. They have a thread about bacon that has over 1000 posts. One guy was complaining that audio was an expensive hobby but only had 300.00 tied up in his system. They think that audio made during the 70's blows away gear made in 2013. I can't figure out if these people took to much acid back in the day or are people really that stupid.

Phaelon, I see your point if all this thread is about is bacon, but it isn't, it's about AK as far as I can see, but yes, posting about bacon can be viewed as silly. Still, we've witnessed the Spudz Effect even in this thread.
"posting about bacon can be viewed as silly”

Essentialaudio, I agree. But it’s no less silly than the “mean girl" type ridicule that’s being posted about AK participants. In fact, I would consider a bacon discussion more beneficial.

A good many people, who have a passion for music but work hard for their money, read these forums for a time before plunging in with an actual purchase. I’m embarrassed to think that these prospective enthusiasts have to listen to the rantings of audio brats putting down those who can’t afford to make the financial investment that they can.
AK reaches a new high! Thread of the week: 16.00 rummage sale. It's hard to believe a company like Dynaudio displays at AK nerdfest. I will give the VP a call this week and ask him.
Taters, you're really stretching it. There's some bad apples on AK but for the rest of them, their heart is in the right place and if people are into something, its their right to have a place to chat about it. It says nothing about them other than that they're into something you aren't. On paper I don't fit in there at all, and I do have some issues with the place behind the scenes, but I have over $25k worth of gear, and was voted (co)member of the year...so it is possible to be accepted there even with a different outlook.

Much of life is how you present your point of view. If you shove it down somebody's throat, they'll barf it back up in your face.
