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?

This thread repeats so often in almost exactly the same format it's rather comforting.  Like waiting for Peanuts to appear every Sunday.

@lalitk i would do it if I wanted to. We are all grown men. Come on let’s keep it real. We are all 50 and  above. Grown men don’t tell other grown me what to do. But anyway. 

It's the internet and anonymity, and it's certainly not restricted to high-end audio; you'll see it in forums/opinions of just about any subject that exists.
