WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?

It seems like when I see comments on high end gear there is a lot of negativity. I have been an audiophile for the last 20 years. Honestly, if you know how to choose gear and match gear a lot of the high end gear is just better. When it comes to price people can charge what they want for what they create. If you don’t want it. Don’t pay for it. Look if you are blessed to afford the best bear and you can get it. It can be very sonically pleasing. Then do it. Now if you are also smart and knowledgeable you can get high end sound at mid-fi prices then do it. It’s the beauty of our our hobby. To build a system that competes with the better more expensive sounding systems out there. THOUGHTS?

Full disclosure I’m a dealer so take this post with a grain of salt if you have issues. I’m just pointing out what I see on a lot of forums and here!

Buy what you like, and like what you buy.

Everyone has a budget. *shrugs*

I think there’s a lot of jealousy in this hobby.

That, and people who think they’re smarter than everyone else.

Either way, you end up with a lot of butt-hurt know-it-alls that tend to lash out, rather than try to learn anything....

I honestly haven't noticed this but, in general, haters hate.

IMO, it is not worth the energy to worry about it.

I sometimes hate the use of all caps but mostly overlook it.
