"It isn’t about snobbery. Years ago, I was like you. Wanting to tell the world how wonderful a good stereo system can sound. How relaxing and enjoyable to listen to your favorite music in High Fidelity. After a while, you get a little introverted when people would constantly tell you how foolish you are for wasting time and especially money on stereo equipment. At best they would try to be polite and say they were too busy to listen to music so intently or they could not afford it. When it comes to HEA, it’s hard to inspire the "flat earth" believers. IMO."
+1! Most people are not "interested" in the system. Rather, they look to criticize what they don’t understand, either out of ignorance or envy. I no longer have any patience for that. It’s my money, I’ll spend it any way I want, and I don’t need to justify the cost of my system to anyone. My wife gives me carte blanche to buy what I want, no questions asked (even though I am judicious), so no friend or stranger is entitled to an explanation. It’s that simple.
