@mahler123 I posted this because I was reading some of the comments about the gear. I see the snarky comments that happen I just wonder why. I wanted to know what people think. Look we all can say what we want and post what we want. I might not like something you post or say but I’m not going to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. I just don’t do that. Period.
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?

How many times has this topic come up? I don't know about anyone else but I'm way past that and can give a tinker's fart about it. There's this phenomenon of some deluding themselves into thinking they're "influencers" and love to dominate others online for fame, relevance and money. To hell with them. They pollute all manner of discourse and it's getting worse. Spend more time listening and enjoying what you've got. All the best, |
@nonoise great take on it all. We all have our opinions about this all. At the end of the day. We all purchase what we want. Have our opinions and express them in any way we feel like. There are those that think it’s ok to,post this. There are those that don’t. The truth of the matter is that most of us will never hear each others systems. Most of us will never do any business together or even talk to each other in person outside of these forums. Most of us are so strong willed about how we feel that we wouldn’t listen to each other anyway. I see posts all the time that I don’t like or agree with and I pass them up. To each his own mind and opinion. This is only audio. A hobby we all should enjoy. But like I said before I would never tell you or anyone what to post or how to post. Not my place. |
You must have mistaken me for somebody else who actually cares how other people spend their money because I don't, and occasionally say so in my posts. I am possibly guilty of occasional snarky comments (although I mostly aim for sarcasm and innuendo). I don't quite understand the new SKSC sickness you have discovered but suggest is is possible you are projecting. Interesting concept for contemplation - if you don't want comments or feedback about your posts then quit asking questions on a public forum. Some may think you are simply searching for an argument. |
@cmsgolf I met you a few years ago in person . I have actually bought smthg from you. You ought to know I’m not going to tell you what to do or post. You are not going to tell me what to do or post. That’s just how the world works. Not trying to be abrasive or anything. We have our opinions etc. But I’m not going to be mad at you over an Audiogon post. Doesn’t make any sense. Anyway. Take care. |
