Why are people always getting into pissing matches because they think what they have is better

Do a little research, regarding the Dunning-Kruger Effect, for a bit of insight.   Then, factor in the fact that aural acuity often varies greatly, between individuals(ie: when the argument swirls around whether things like burn-in, cable direction, fuses, etc make an audible difference).   To save some time: (http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/do-you-suffer-from-the-dunning-kruger-effect--net-22227) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect)

Taters, some thread you have started (again). I guess we can expect more attempts at psychoanalysis and yes, you may indeed sitting back smirking at it all. Show more of your dark side :^)

Yes, it's an ego thing.  Lol

Funny that I had an industry professional share this analogy with me recently . . . I don't think he'd mind me posting it:

"HiEnd HiFi is mostly a male hobby and then the whole theme goes back to the cavemen, where the strongest and fittest would get the most respect and all the girls. Same with cars, watches also. One always wants the best, the most exclusive and as HiFi seldom drives on Friday nights around the block to show to everyone, one now has the internet to show how cool and ingenious one is. There isn't a problem with that if one really is, but then the logic is mostly left behind, but as most do the same stupid show, they all seem to understand each other very well and logic is left away."
