I joined but haven't posted.
To me it doesn't seem quite as user friendly as AK and AC.

Don't stop believin'
Just took a look and it appears like the owner may have been a member here. Looks like they are trying to put an emphesis on audioshark being a friendly site. I think I'll register and see how the site develops. Would be nice to see a nice vintage and DIY following, and active crossover, and distributed bass and............okay, I still like my AK too.
I joined there too for that reason, he was always very descriptive and knowledgable, but I don't think he really posts there anymore and I've not been back after the initial sign up. Also... That's one guy, there's a multitude of posters here who have similar qualities... SO I just stay here.
Who is this mystery person?
You remember JohnVF?
He made sure he got himself very very banned for reasons I'm not about to get into.
Yes I do and I liked his contributions.

I imagine that he would disagree with you. I never agreed with everything that he said, but that doesn't make him an idiot in my eyes. After all, two people one having seen only the front of an elephant and one having seen only the rear of an elephant would disagree about how an elephant looks. Neither would be wrong about what they experienced. The only mistake they would be making would be to each insist that the other was wrong.
Sometimes the truth is like that. With luck one can get enough angles on a subject to reconcile seemingly contradictory elements which are simultaneously facets of the same subject.
Despite what I just said, sometimes what is said is simply wrong. I've come to decline correcting people especially when they have had no experience or insufficient experience to comprehend the truth of what I am trying to open their eyes to. I generally now simply walk away after being berated for being correct.

IMHO, John had social interaction challenges but he is extremely intelligent. I have no doubt he has a genius level IQ.
Idiot is the wrong word to describe him.
I wasn't a friend of his, but I have to acknowledge when some else is smarter than I am.
I saw John once in awhile when I lived in Chicago and he's very bright, articulate and courteous; very good company. And his systems sounded first rate--he has a <very> good ear.
The site was started by people that left Audio Aficionado and many people followed over including those of us who got banned there. The owner there is trying to sell gear, he owns a HE shop and he reads thru peoples private messages. I got banned after posting a link to a new awesome Pre-Amp, which he will never be able to sell. I got a Time-Out and Demerits and then when I posted that at AS, my account at AA was terminated.
There are some real good guys at AA but the site is a front for a business and none of that goes on at AudioShark. All dealers are welcome and nobody gets chastised for pointing out a new pc of obscure gear.
There are a few scuffles from time to time, but usually worked out among the posters, not shut down by the mods.
As far as Vintage, if enough of you join up, Mike is open to suggestions for more forums. Just ask.
