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?

Wrong. Neither tests report time limitations nor do they state the amount of time taken by listeners. You are desperately searching for excuses. The two tests were essentially the same. Now you are just making stuff up. Sorry that reality doesn’t fit your beliefs. 

Really? Go and listen to Darko's interview with Paul Barton and then get back to me. Until then, stop grasping at straws to save face.

I just love it when someone tells me what I can and cannot hear in my system.

@scottwheel , give it a rest, eh?

Someday you'll look back on this and realize how foolish you sound.

Don't like expensive cables? Don't buy any.

Want to hang with the Pink Panther crowd? By all means, go for it.

Want to hang out with your buddies and talk about how smart you are, and how everyone else who disagrees with you is retarded? Not my cup of tea, but you do you.

But give it a rest already.

Once you know better (and obviously a few people here certainly DO know better), you can't go back....someday you'll probably learn. But your pseudo-intellectual high-road tactics are annoying, to say the least. Your  "lather, rinse, repeat" regurgitated ignorance is old at this point. Let it go. 

 

 

 

“Once you know better (and obviously a few people here certainly DO know better), you can't go back....”

Know better? Please elaborate. I can’t go back? Could you be more specific? Can’t go back from what to what?

”someday you'll probably learn.”

Always looking to learn. What specifically do you think I will someday learn? 
 

These are honest questions.  No hostility. Just trying to get a clear understanding of what you are telling me.

@scottwheel , if you truly want to learn something, perhaps you should stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room and listen to what others are telling you.

Have a nice day.

 

 

I think the stance of @scottwheel is perfect answer to the subject of this tread. Shoving his opinion on everybody else by the way of disdain, belittling and virtual hate toward anybody disagreeing with his view how the hobby of high end gear HAS to be pursued. His way is the RIGHT way and anybody thinking otherwise is delusional moron.
