Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?


It's really tiring. Audiophools, Snake Oil, why buy this/that. I don't give a rip what others do, although I like to read about it but none of my business. I'm just not geared that way. People want to buy a Lambo, 10,000 buck cables, 100,000 buck loudspeakers, it's no skin off my nose yet some people are obsessed with what others do. I don't get it.

Ever notice that someone posts and the same people attack? 

PS I just spent 500 on tweaks and it was some of the best improvements.  If you are ambitious yet don't believe me, come on over.  You can remove my tweaks and we will listen.

Me have beautiful smart triplet ambidextrous contortionist supermodel so there what have do with audio?

+1 charles1dad.  Envy and jealousy.  

I would bet that the worst offenders are also those who will pounce on ANY opportunity, real or not, to criticize a certain member here.  Every bit as tiresome and annoying; and both tendencies probably part of the same mindset.  If the guy really is so annoying to you, why stir that pot.  Live and let live.  

As a professional musician, audio is such a passion that it strikes me odd to have it called a “hobby.”  I’m one of the lurkers who reads the Agon threads every day but rarely posts; here to gather information and “hang” with others who love and appreciate good sound and the visceral joy that occurs at the nexus of a great system, a great performance, a great recording. 
 

+1 OP and everyone who seems to be here for the same reason. Passion is OK. Disagreement is very OK. Interest is OK.  Getting personal is not OK. Very not OK. It’s possible to disagree agreeably. It’s sad to see so many of these threads degenerate into food fights. Please stop…
