OK, I tried hydrogen audio. It didn't go too well.

Hi. Just came across this thread today. I had a brief visit to HA and it was clear it wasn't for me. There was one person I considered rude and unpleasant when I put in my first post ( a question about amplifiers ) he accused me of trolling and when it was obvious that I wasn't basically called me stupid. The mod apologised on behalf of the forum which I thought was quite nice.

 

The other replies I had were courteous and informative in the ways members of that forum see audio. I had no problem with them, though I find it impossible to agree with their assertions ( as I understand them ). Each to their own I guess. It isn't the sort of site I like but no offence to most of the folks on there who as I say seemed pretty decent people from my limited experience

I don't know. The general view of audio doesn't really coincide with mine and the "science thing" doesn't chime either. I have no axe to grind but was happy to leave the site for those whose view differs from mine

Glad to hear. It's been bothering me these last few months. I found HA to be an unpleasant site and I won't be back.

 

But while it's being discussed, I will say that I regret what's happening to the, formerly (mostly) admirable, USA at the moment a lot more though.
