Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?

We have an obscure hobby, generally speaking. Then we have these know-it-all's whom know next to nothing about our hobby. They have this need to show their intellect by critiquing.
In my experiences the most critiquing came from owners of a K-mart system or maybe only a boom box.---This is actually true in my case.
It's only a ploy some humans use in hope for dominance,because they themselves are clueless about life/ friendship and such.---Yep, the speaker wire critic falls into this control seeking group.
Oops, almost forgot;--any dealer whom carries a different line of wires falls within--- but at least we know his agenda.

Our systems are our personal creation in a way few other things are and we , as they say in psychology, are "ego involved" with them. That said, it takes a real jerk to tell you that you have the wrong cables. Of course, it happens all the time on Audiogon. Audio is just another religion where many are not happy quietly worshiping in their own church but take it upon themselves to go out and convert the heathen to the true path. That being , of course, whatever they are using themselves at the time.

no.....don't invite that guy over again....he has an inappropriate attitude and I'd guess it extends into more things than just audio...you have nice gear and if you like it then you're lucky....you have no more urge to upgrade...maybe that person was just funnin' you...who knows...

Another quallude, they'll love you in the morning...

I think in general the person is a clod even if he was 'well meaning'. Some people like to pontificate and miss the possible offense they cause...
