When it comes down to brass tacks don’t we all buy into the notion that brand ABC’s box of over-hyped and absurdly expensive box of wires is better than brand XYZ’s brand of over-hyped and absurdly expensive box of wires? I think it does not just stop being ridiculous with wires and cables, it easily extends into the audio equipment we buy.
I cannot say I enjoy my ridiculously expensive stereo more than the kid down the block who listens to all his music on an older smartphone and I really would have a hard time justifying the higher price I paid for my audio adventure.
What’s even more embarrassing? The banter and fighting back and forth, “I have better audio equipment and am smarter about high fidelity than that other guy” That always makes me laugh!
BTW the smart guys are the ones making all the hi-fi equipment and selling it for huge sums of $$$$.... not the ones buying it.
