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?

“being so aggressive and publicly calling people you don’t know dicks sure doesn’t help.”

Respect is a two way road. It was a response to a remark about having a brain injury. And I called that out as a dick move. It was a dick move. Honestly I don’t care. But manners will be met in kind. Good or bad. 

Nope. You started with using "dick" as an adverb on 11-30-23 @6:08pm and I asked if you hit your head recently on 12-01-23 @12:06 pm. I really didn’t wanna partake in this thread but your oh so holy attitude was getting too much for me to ignore.

No one owes you anything in the way of "proof" no matter how much sophistic effort you put into your flimsy premise that we have to be able to verify and repeat it for you to believe it. No one.

All the best,

just checked. I don’t see a single post on 11/30 where I used the word dick

We can discuss...

But discussion is a meeting between people who spoke with one another without prejudices...

Asking for a double blind test as only proof for any subjective testimony given in good faith in a hobby site about anyone using something in his audio system /room is asking too much from a too high chair ...😁

It is a hobby site not a pseudo-scientific or even a serious circle about electrical measurement as a hobby ...

Speaking about the gear is a hobby , and measuring and speaking about the electrical specs verified as the only valuable information over anything else is another hobby as playing with tools is another hobby .. ...

My own hobby is more about acoustics and music ...Way less about the gear piece listenings than the average subjectivist hobbyist, or way less about the electrical specs verified and presented as unique guarantee for a good S.Q. as the average objectivist hobbyist ...

We must respect the experience and beliefs of the other people ... It is not so hard to do with only arguments, no insults...

 

By the way scottwheel it would have been way more useful to explain why the BACCH filters you already own are an acoustic revolution instead of pushing people in their corner with the urgent use of double blind test as the only way to validate an experience they already claim as their own meaningful experience , nevermind if they are right or wrong ... ...Respect must be winned ...

Helping people is not giving them an ideological lesson first and last  but a true useful information ...

 

 

it’s clearly there, exactly where/when nonoise said...a few posts have been deleted, but not that one...would seem impossible to miss...
