Rsfphil,
Don't be offended! I looked at you're system and you are not a dumpster diver. In fact you have a nice balanced set-up, enjoy. |
I'm not going to post over there. |
Dayglow,
I could not agree with you more. In fact my new name for that sight is ABK= Audio bad Kharma! |
I'm sorry there is no pictures of sexy mean girls! At least you don't have 1150 posts about bacon.
P.S. If you are really into sexy mean girls come to L.A. I'll show you a ton of them! |
I don't get the whole bacon thing. They have over 1000 posts about bacon. How can anyone really take that website seriously? |
I went back and read the thread and it did start out with "Why are there so many audio snobs" But to put up over a 1000 posts about bacon is even crazier than what the op wrote. |
"All audio no attitude" I am quoting Sebrof on that one. Yet they bash high-end cables, big amps and boutique products. So what happened to the "All audio no attitude" mantra. |
Rok2id,
I hope you are just kidding! |
ABK claims a membership of 150,000 members. I didn't know there were so many knuckleheads into audio. When I go to my club meetings or the shows I never run into people like that. Sure I run into the eccentric's and the nerds but at least they are Intelligent and not talking about bacon. |
So if I turn this thread into a bacon fest will I get over a 1000 posts like they did on ABK? |
As much as people bitch about Audiogon I think it is a good site. There are a lot of Intelligent members here that are willing to help you out.
If you want to discuss bacon and find out where the next dumpster dive is AK is for you. |
I like the guys that are proud that they have never cleaned a record in their life. Or the guys that swear up and down that Radio Shack makes the best stereo equipment ever. When someone asks about Interconnects and cables he tells them to check www.monoprice.com home of the 3 dollar interconnect and .10 cent a foot speaker wire.
I think AK would make a good reality show. Where would you find more nuts in one place. Maybe they can show Honey boo boo how to put together a system. |
I think we should rename Audio Kharma. I don't see anything over there that is Kharma like.
Pick which name you like best.
Audio Sleazeball
Audio Cheapskate
Audio Bums
Audio Derelicts
Audio Losers
Audio Penney Pinchers
Audio Illiterates
Audio Dumpster divers
Audio Swine
If you have some better names I would like to hear them. |
My cardiologist says no Bacon fests for me. |
That sight just annoys me! Plus I don't like the way they put down better gear. They are in such denial. |
Sebrof,
It would be one thing if they liked there cheap stuff. I have no problem with that. But they are always putting down new gear or making fun of guys that try to put together high-end audio systems. They say they have no attitude but I find them to have more attitude than any site out there. Even if you go to sites where the guys have 200k systems. They still Interact with the guys with basic systems and they don't put them down. On AK if you mention you bought a power cord or Interconnect for more than 50.00 they will crucify you and gang up on you like a bunch of thugs. Plus the fact these people are so closed minded to anything new or modern. Out of all the audio sites out there this one is the least progressive. It's like time stopped for them in 1978. |
Sebrof,
We finally agree! Thanks god. |
chadnliz,
I would never in a million years do there annual show in Michigan. I can't stand being around morons. If I went I would lose my temper and punch someone out. The funny thing is I've never seen any of them at the shows I do. When I think about it why would they be at a show I attend. They are only Interested in stuff made before 1978. |
I can't eat bacon doctors orders! |
Jmcgrogan2,
That is scary! |
Chadnliz,
I'll take the guy with the 50k in gear and 75 audiophile records over the dumpster diver any day of the week.
I do agree that this hobby is on life support. |
Ozzy,
I'm not a member of that site. Just an observer. |
Todays hot AK topics:
1.Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a hoarder.
2.Any good USB dacs for 75.00.
The Jerry Springer of Audio websites! |
Jmcgrogan2,
I have a therapist! Thanks for looking out. |
Jmcgrogan2,
Those are actually threads that are on AK right now! |
Chadnliz,
My point was I don't want to listen to music with a dumpster diver because they stink! |
Jmcgrogan2,
I will bring up you're post when I see my therapist. |
Onhwy61,
I won't post on AK. They are Nazi's and will censor my post!
I can have a peanut butter cookie but without bacon. |
Jtcf,
If we turned this into a bacon shoot out would it get over 1000 hits like it did on AK? |
Jtcf,
This Isn't exactly AK.(Thank god) People here are a bit more serious than the AK crowd. Some people even criticized me for posting this thread. Even though everything I said was true. |
Latest hot threads on AK:
1.Ultimate ghetto glider.
2.Airline (How I bought a Monkey Wards reciever for 20.00) |
Llanger,
I would rather deal with people who are living in the 21st century even if they can't spell Kharma right. BTW- Today's exciting topic on AK is TOTL Realistic products. That's the equivalent of talking about the top of the line Yugo, Vega or Pinto cars. Give me a break! |
New Hot topic on AK:
"Rare thorens table bought from white Van" |
Jmcgrogan2,
I don't see AK deleting the 1150 posts about bacon! I'll make you a deal convince them to take down the bacon thread and I'll be happy to write the moderators here and tell them to take down this thread. |
Hot topic on AK today:
Marantz 5010 tape deck found at yard sale for 2.00. |
Onhyw61,
After 75 posts you finally get it! |
To compare the 2 sites is ridiculous! Audiogon has a lot of Intelligent members with knowledge. AK has morons talking about bacon, dumpster diving, buying cable for .10 a foot, Yada, yada, yada. It's a really an Insult to Audiogon to make a comparison. I'm not saying Audiogon is perfect, but compared to AK it's like a god send.
BTW-Audio Karma is the Jerry Springer of audio websites. |
I'll say one thing when it comes to AK. No one has a better bacon thread. |
Today's hot AK topics:
1.Rummage sale score.
2.Looking to find Sears stereo.
No I didn't make this up. It's in General discussion on AK. |
Mapman,
I would not want to Insult the community colleges by making a comparison to AK. I would compare the members of AK to a work release program in the desert. |
I know most people are into crap! Whether it's food, alcohol, material goods, yada, yada, yada. Thank god I appreciate the finer things in life. My only downfall is I should of been born rich. |
If my life was relegated to dumpster dives and seeking out audio gear made by Radio Shack and Sears I would wrap my acoustic Zen cables around my neck and jump off the roof. |
Csmgolf,
Call me whatever you like! At least I'm not dumpster diving for gear or talking about a 6.00 reciever I just bought from the Salvation army. |
Go to the audio snobs thread. 1200 posts about bacon! |
I'm waiting for Honey boo boo and family to go on there and talk about dumpster diving for a home theater set-up.
Last month I saw Ferrari advertising there 7 year maintenance program on new cars. I e-mailed Ferrari of North America and told them they were not a good fit for that website. I told them they cater to the dumpster diving crowd and Pep boys. They e-mailed me back that they would look into it and thanked me for bringing it to there attention. |
My cardiologist won't allow me to eat bacon. He said my cholesterol is to high. |
New hot topics on AK:
1.Cleaning vinyl with windex.
2.So, what did I just buy for 6.50.
It's funny, just when you think they can't go any lower they do. |
I'll show that list to my doctor. |
You guys are doing great! We are only 1093 posts behind. |
Liquid-smooth,
Nice Story! I don't believe a word of it. |
