High End Audio Equipment, Status Symbol?


I was reading some other forums, about why High end audio is or is not a status symbol. I prefer it not to be or we would be having systems like the one below.

Stehno,
Those hounds are no laughing matter! The chewed up my innerconnects and changed the delay setting on all my DSP modes! hehehe

Im glad that this stuff is more of a novelty than a status symbol, or else people would be buying due to brand names alone without looking into the equipment quality
