Unfortunately, there are humans that intentionally try to take advantage of other's gullibility. "If it costs more it must be better." " If it looks cool it must sound better." Both assumptions are BS. Some of us out of the conviction of honestly and seeking the best reproduction for all try to warn people that their money could be spent better elsewhere. They can take that advice or not. I, and many others have no iron in the fire. We are not selling anything, In the end I could care less. At least I tried to counter the forces of evil. 80 to 90% of the products sold in a pharmacy are total BS. There is a lot of BS that is foisted on the audio community. Those of us with a scientific education who have some understanding of the issues have an obligation to explain why some products do not pass the smell test. After that it is up to the individual whether or not to purchase an item. People can think an item makes an improvement in there system's performance without a serious test of that opinion. In reality much of this is psychological and people have a hard time believing this. But, then they refuse to go about testing their own assumptions in a serious fashion. Why should any of us trust their opinion? I certainly don't.
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.
