Is high end audio to snooty for its own good?


I think it has become that way. Some people flaunt that they have high end systems and they listen to certain kinds of music and I think it puts the hobby in a negative light at times.

I had to do a double take when I saw the Bach response.   Lol.   Bach will refine me.  Makes great music but seriously.  Really!   I just realized the kind of people that I'm responding to.   That's why I asked the snooty question in the first place. Lol. Extreme gaming is not a sport and being an audiophile is a hobby.  Live with it.  
"I just realized the kind of people I am responding to"

And what is that supposed to mean?

calvini, nothing will refine someone who does not want to be refined.
What you are "dealing with " are Christian believers for the most part.

The greatest Christian thinker, Augustine, took the concept whole from the ancient
Greeks and passed it on to Aquinas, Luther and Bach among others
Also been the view of most Asians thinkers for thousands of years .
