WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?


I ask the question. Because I have had several discussions on Audiogon where certain posters will try to tell another person what they can or can’t hear in a system. Most of the time never hearing or having experiences either the piece of equipment, cables etc. It is usually against those that spend money on more expensive equipment and cabling. Why is this so prevalent.

Something I’ve never seen mentioned is we all have the same basic equipment when it comes to hearing,

 

Perhaps because there are noticeable variations in this regard? For example, I’m particularly sensitive to highs and this very much impacts my perception of sonics and gear choices.

 

Hi, @stuartk ,

I agree, that's why my full sentence is ; 

Something I’ve never seen mentioned is we all have the same basic equipment when it comes to hearing, but it ends there.
