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

I am like you sound fanatic if i am honest ...😊

But I am proud about the fact that i based my research on creativity and on the acoustics and mechanical and electrical factors upon which i can work at low cost ...

I am not obsessed by gear... I cannot afford costly pieces of gear...

Anyway i succeeded with my last small speakers modified to create relatively more than just good sound for the price invested ...

But my refence top system is headphone... I used one of the top headphone in the world and the best of AKG ever ( his k701 for example is trash compared to the K340  even the K240 is not at all in the same ball park, the K1000 has no deep bass  ) ...I modify it a bit and optimize it after  6 months of experiments ...This hybrid is so astonishing now than upgrading it is too risky business ... How many headphones can give a perfecy imahing and holographic, and a  soundfield out of the head and a natural realistic timbre with deep clear  bass at any price ? ( easy to verify with big organ music)

Dont look too hard very, very few headphones,  if they exist ...I dont need to buy one at 5,000 bucks ...

I am proud of creativity not of my gear collection ...

then there is different obsession types about sound ... 😁

@mahgister im sound obsessed. Every little detail. Soundstage depth width air realness of instruments decay etc. not afraid to admit it.

@mahgister i been blessed. I have worked my way into my setup in various ways. I’m blessed. But I don’t only look at price. Im picky. Technology used is important. Design elements is important.  The importance of low noise floor with musicality. I found this in INFIGO AND GATO 

@calvinj

Why not just ask Audiogon or some other chat site to add an "ultra high-end" forum? With the understanding that those haters are not welcome.

@cdc they will find a way to pop up. It is what it is. We all have our vices.  Lol. 

So too are pride, greed, and avarice. 

Envy is a terrible vice.
