"other" forums

Curious what other audio forums you cruise for useful info?

 

[lovinthehd]

Don't much....many are just silly or full of snake oil. Here and audiosciencereview.com for the bulk of it, sometimes a bit from avsforum.com, Diyaudio.com or data-bass.com . A few FB groups that aren't ridiculous, but most are (many are just run by the snake oil folk).

Along those lines, which ones have you been perusing ?

 

[Dude#1279435]

I'm sure there's all kinds if you're doing a key word search. Just tidbits at audiokarma, tom's guide, steve hoffman, and one of my favs noaudiophile. I bought my JBL 305s because of him. Will have to check out the ones you've mentioned.

Archimago's blog is another good one....

Other forums for information or for entertainment ?

a decade ago (or more) the "AVS" home theater forum was very active. Then activity in building a home theater room started to diminish and the forum always had clunky/slow firmware. The forum is still there, but not as interesting.

The Hoffman forum is too full of woo for my taste when I've visited....

AVS forum can be useful for researching a specific model of TV or AVR or Blu-ray player. You may have to dig thru 5000 posts on those threads though. YMMV

Not forums, but the Audio Critic online archive has useful info.

Sadly it's been a long time since the last issue of 'The Audio Critic'.

It's Not That Heavy

You've heard it before. "HONEY, I NEED YOUR HELP WITH A BOX. IT'S NOT THAT HEAVY." In The Audiophile's defense, this is true. These boxes ...

I used to frequent htguide.com forums and hometheatershack but it’s been a good long while.

Audioholics is still my anchor in the sea of audiophilia.

Audiogon has guys who have experience with rare/unheard of gear. If you are searching for something that's not as well known in the audiophile world , you may have some luck there.

Let alone their experiences with imaginary benefits of gear!
