For some reason it seems that owning equipment being more expensive than average is something bad. In general people are ready to judge, (misjudge??) and it seems that those owning such equipment must either be crazy or just plain stupid. Most people are trying to find reasons to not to buy such equipment, as they cannot mathematically justify the high(er) costs. Often I see people asking themselves (or even making statements) that the $ 10K amp for sure is not 10 times better than the $ 1k amp, and so on. Whilst there may be some truth in it, we all know that it doesn't work like that. What I often miss here is respect or appreciation related to the choices people make.
