Why so many angry audiophiles?

I have a relatively (for this forum) inexpensive system. Sometimes I get angry because its not a reference system and I see its warts. Sometimes I am fully content because the music its playing is wonderous. 

When I am in the anger mode, I try to remember I have a loving wife who understands my need for a dedicated listening space and the occaisonal equipment upgrade. I also remember that my address is not a cardboard box, I have enough to eat and hopefully a sufficient retirment nest egg. 

Lets face it, everything beyond that is essentially a luxury.

I for one have not posted a question on this forum simply because I didn't
want to read the inevitable responses from those in attack mode.  But, it is not a constant it ebbs and flows.  I will certainly post again as I do enjoy the interaction.

We may think that we are all connected by a common hobby, but the fact is we lead very separate lives and that one commonality is a very thin thread indeed.  Thank you Mapman.

A lot of projection going on here.

Part of the problem.

A component of the human condition, but learning to realize it in every waking moment can make a notable difference in one’s sense of peace. And thus one’s missives will change. Age can take care of this, in some cases.

Help me out here. Who was the comedian who said "If you don't have anything nice to say, say it really loud." Always liked that one.

Absolutely!!! 100% agree with this post. Music (even without concerts) will get us through these dark days.

🙏   It should only help.
