WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?


I have seen many people share what they have and what they have heard on audiogon and there are always a few people that come on with negative comments about the person bragging or,the put down the higher end gear that one is speaking about.  Why do you think that happens?

Enjoy Mahler123.   I enjoy the experience of trying new gear that challenges what I have now.  Some don’t understand but it’s not for them to!
Absolutely Calvin.  I just added a new Anthem AVR to replace my 10 year old Onkyo in my HT System, and damn I’m enjoying the joys of improved DACs and room correction.  So even in midfi it’s possible to really appreciate improvements.
Because, in general, audiophiles are a surly group of curmudgeons.
If you don’t believe me just look through the threads on this forum.
