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?

@ghdprentice i agree 100%. The crazy part is they wanna tell you how to spend your money. Also, if you spend X$ you are an idiot for doing so. I chose my gear carefully. Yes it’s expensive. But I believe in the science and engineering of how my electronics and speakers were made. Are they expensive yes but I research and listened to these items and I’m sold on the sonics enough to be happy for a very long time. 

@lalitk wow I didn’t know you owned WBF and that you can make me not say what I wanna say. Didn’t know that at all wow.  All in fun man don’t take this that serious. 

@coralkong @mitch2 i guess I should be surprised by the snarky comments. If you will tell a guy how to spend his money on gear. You will also have the nerve to tell him when, where and how he can say what he wants to say. The most annoying part is that it comes from a place of stereo knowledge superiority complex. It’s a new sickness that I have diagnosed most that speak this way with. STEREO KNOWLEDGE SUPERIORITY COMPLEX! 

@coralkong yes I see it’s serious. Must be when you are telling someone that posting in caps will get them violated. Lol
