basically any other forum. Most toxic people are on ps audio forum. Reddit /r/audiophile has become a bit more peaceful.
Since I’m german I sometimes visit the german hifi forum and this forum is just a joke. It’s 99% old people who have no idea what they’re talking about with some people even claiming that amps all sound the same. They always write in that weird ‘old people tryin to be funny’ language where they use synonyms for almost every word which is just super unnecessary.
I would definitely look around on different forums, it’s always good to hear different opinions from differently minded people.
The audioscience review forum is also a good forum imo and people are usually nice to each other but sometimes it’s just too much ‘measurement elitism’ there.

Totally. Along with @WaveTheory and others. They have made our audio journeys fun and informed.

ROFL’d at “Why does he have so much equipment and super expensive stuff on top of that?”
Really - I laughed, and laughed until I started wondering the same thing then started to get jealous and cried and I cried.
Super glad we have M0n in our community - @Tommy is spot on with how he described him; but, I have to know if Tommy’s cat face is from Tommy’s cat or if he’s cat-catfishing all of us with that adorable floof?

Wrong chant. It’s omoooon…omooooon…
I have to say HiFi Guides may be the site I feel most at home at. The kindest people, the most open minded people, and just feels cozy.
I personally have had a negative experience over at The Headphones Community, just feels kind of closed off, I feel alien over there and hence why I kind of stopped going there.
Head-Fi is the most “professional”, at least that’s how I use it.
HiFi Guides is where I feel like we can all share our honest opinion and not get cancelled or have someone up in our face. This is because of people like M0N, and because of Zeos’s community.
Love you all <3

Hello,
I would never have thought that he would get his own contribution.
But in a way it is completely right to be able to say simply: Thank you Mon for all your efforts in this forum. Thank you for your professional and serious contributions, advice, tips, suggestions, assistance and for much more where I can not think of at the moment.
Also a thank you for the way you sometimes defuse a very stimulating discussion.
Much is certainly experience in audio technology over decades, but the greatest praise is and that is not simply to have remained human.
That is certainly not always easy.
Finally, one can only say stay as you are and healthy.
And of course, many here in the forum are just as contributed by their way and Mon helped by their questions and suggestions.
Also there times a thank you.
And a thank you to all the moderators and management for their work and efforts that sacrifice their free time in part to maintain the forum at a professional level without being aloof.

M0N, yep one of the cool fellas here who welcomed me to this forum with kindness or courtesy to say the least. Not only he or she is cool, but I also want to thank you some of the people who helped me a lot when it comes to audio and other aspects that made me appreciate and love this hobby even more.
Without some of you, I won’t be able to get best sounding experience that I have right now with my life. I am sorry if it’s a bit dramatic or might come out as cheesy, but this is how I feel with M0N and the others who helped me with this.

not at all cheesy, the idea of forming a community that you feel like you can go back and forth with, i think is quite lovely!
