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.

Chadnliz,

My point was I don't want to listen to music with a dumpster diver because they stink!

Jmcgrogan2,

Those are actually threads that are on AK right now!

SO WHAT??????

There are plenty of websites that irritate me....I simply avoid them. You need to ask yourself why you feel the compulsion to constantly bang your head against a wall? In a sick way, are you enjoying the aggravation? Maybe you are a masochist?
Tater, what is the purpose of this thread? You dislike AK, but you seem to spend time there. Rather than posting here, wouldn't your complaints serve a better purpose on AK?

Chill out and have a peanut butter and bacon cookie!
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.
Hey Sudz (Taters). You keep this crap up and you will be kicked off this site. Then where will you go? You've been banned from almost every audio site out there.
It's okay, you can have bacon. This is Agon. Love to hear your take on the flavor.
How about a bacon "shoot out" comparing the various brands.When consumed immediately before a listening session,which one enhances the experience?
Jtcf,

If we turned this into a bacon shoot out would it get over 1000 hits like it did on AK?
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.
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)
Taters,
Just having some fun!You are spot on about AK.The newest hot threads are hilarious!
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!
This thread reminds me of one of those mean girl movies... without the sexy mean girls.

LOL!! The funniest and most poignant post yet!!
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'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.

Not so many posters are posting negative energy Musicpod, only 1, the OP. He has 35 of the 74 posts on this thread. Most of the rest of us are just trying to figure out his mental anguish. Misplaced teenage angst perhaps? Mommy didn't love him enough? He does have some serious issues with others having their freedoms. He believes everyone should think like he does. Thank God we don't! Most of us believe in freedom!!!

This thread is a tragic waste of bandwidth, and should be deleted, if the moderators are awake.
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.
I agree with TATER. Mr Moderator, we cannot allow a stupid thread gap!!! Next thing you know, those people on AK will be polluting our precious bodily fluids!

Viva Tater!!!

Cheers

I would love to join in this 'debate', but since I am not an Audiophile, I am not qualified. :(
I finally get it! This is all about the fact that he can't eat bacon and he's envious of other audiophiles who flaunt their love the cured meat. My scorn has now turned to pity.
I wonder what the AK site's policy on "snake oil" is?

Audiogon does not seem to have any.

IS that good because of no censorship or bad because of reduced credibility?
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.
This is starting to remind of the preacher who screams about gays right up till one is found in his hotel room.

And this thread is the Geraldo's Al Capone's vault
This thread has been extremely entertaining.Audio geek humor gives us a break from obsessing over our system's flaws.
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.
Taters,

You realize of course that there are way more people in the world who are interested in bacon, rummage sales, and Sears stereos then there are interested in most things discussed here, right?

Think of AK as community college. SOme may graduate to this site and actually become fully indoctrinated audio nutcases, if they can afford it. :^)
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.

Today's hot AK topics:
My favorite thread on the AK site is Pictures of Cats on Audio Gear. I visit the site and enjoy it, but always thought that thread had to be something else besides what the title suggests. After many months of bypassing it my curiosity got the best of me and I clicked. Guess what - It's a bunch of pictures of cats on audio gear. go figure.

The latest post, #2,289 (!!) reads, "here we have possum girl delaying my morning walk by presenting a terrific photo opportunity"
I don't think I'll ever click that thread again.
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.
"I know most people are into crap! Whether it's food...

You're so right. But you know what you can always depend on? A good ol’ BLT - bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich - Mmmm mmm... I usually order double bacon. How do you like your bacon? Crisp or with a little bend to it?
My cardiologist won't allow me to eat bacon. He said my cholesterol is to high.
Yeah, so those ak guys seem to be a bunch of dumpster rooting, thrift fair tootin simpletons.

Now, here's the million dollar question...

Sound quality/dollars spent ratio.

Who wins?

Audiogoners?

Or AKers?
Live and let live, better than looking like a dbag.
Who is smarter the guy who is "blessed" with a taste for finer things in life but not enough cash or the guy who finds pleasure in the affordable and obtainable?
I would pick 2, its better than pipe dreams and disapointment.
