Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?

Glad you guys found it useful.  It is the difficult path, but it lets you make relative judgements to the music, not to other gear.

Thanks harrylavo. In my posts I’ve tried to share my unique journey. Some take it as showboating or showing off.  I meant as an offer of experiences.  My audio experience has been a great one. Hearing music in all kinds of way. Different sounds but a lot of pleasing music. I’m not bragging but my journey I’m blessed for it. 

For some reason it seems that owning equipment being more expensive than average is something bad. In general people are ready to judge, (misjudge??) and it seems that those owning such equipment must either be crazy or just plain stupid. Most people are trying to find reasons to not to buy such equipment, as they cannot mathematically justify the high(er) costs. Often I see people asking themselves (or even making statements) that the $ 10K amp for sure is not 10 times better than the $ 1k amp, and so on. Whilst there may be some truth in it, we all know that it doesn't work like that. What I often miss here is respect or appreciation  related to the choices people make. 

True that why I pose the questions I do. When they see a 14k speaker or a 10k amp or a 6k Dac it’s open season. Nothing wrong with having better stuff
