I guess cognitive dissonance would not apply if you are actually cost conscious. There are many times I want the cheaper, more reliable, lighter gear to sound better but just can't talk myself into keeping the cheaper, inferior sounding equip.. (Unless I subconsciously think that expensive gear are better.) LOL

I came upon this article the other day. I'm afraid the sentiments revealed in it are all too common to those on the outside of our hobby.
Cheers,
