That ASR forum is probably the most toxic place I have seen. I've never seen such a hateful and negative community and engagement throughout the site and reviews. Some reviews are polar opposite of general consensus so taking with grain of salt with that.
It's a learning curve. People are free to believe that if they want to. I would always recommend taking whatever information you find or believe to be true (whether on ASR or Head-Fi, or any other audio forum) and put it to the test as best you can and see if your beliefs are validated or not.
