Is high end audio to snooty for its own good?

It's "too" not "to"

calvini, nothing will refine someone who does not want to be refined.
What you are "dealing with " are Christian believers for the most part.

The greatest Christian thinker, Augustine, took the concept whole from the ancient
Greeks and passed it on to Aquinas, Luther and Bach among others
Also been the view of most Asians thinkers for thousands of years .

I was just quoting what Calvinj had said.

They are snooty because they see the big " A " tattooed on our forehead.

Without "snooty" hi-end audio folks, who would you sell all that audio snake-oil to?   Cable supports?!?!  Room resonators?  And let's not forget one of the all-time pieces of insanity, the Tice clock!
