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?
Your effort to play the victim here probably fools no one. If you have a complaint about a user, take it to the moderators. @scottwheel is a troll practicing "sealioning." It's not new or original.

Yes but this does not contradict my point , because humans can be trained and are specifically trained in visual experiences , wine tasting , as in music and acoustic or speech recognition etc ... All of what is perceived can be explained today or tomorrow by sciences but this fact dont means that the explanation will be the actual accepted scientific explanation ... There is no consensus in hearing theories actually , only a basic consensus around the technology ... We perceive the sound of an amplifier all together the same way in a general way of speaking yes, but if i change a cable or put a piece of a shungite chunk on the amplifier or instead a piece of quartz, some will perceive a change , and some will claim that it is impossible to perceive a change because of Maxwell equations, Helmholtz hearing theory and Fourier mapping of sounds ... Instead of training their ears they will shut down any other possibilities ...But all these theories are not enough to understand sound perception as it is , even if they could be and they are actually the basis of very useful technologies ... Remember when people thought that seeing without eyes was impossible ? Now it is possible for everyone becoming blind with a training ... It is the samething with sound , we can now "see" sounds with our hands with a vibrating object in our hand ( a balloon) ...

What I'm looking for is value at every price point. Value is individually determined. What I don't like is that I can't often find the most value within each price point because the market is inefficient for hifi products. Thus I end up guessing as most of us do. What I'd love to see are permanent HiFi listening centers that have quality listening rooms with lots of gear to compare spread out at 4 or 5 locations in the US. Thus we would not have to listen to gear at shows in crummy rooms that don't allow for a direct comparisons between gear or at dealers with limited gear alternatives. Just a thought. |
