Audiophiles often have very strong opinions and aren't shy about sharing them. Some of those opinions are rooted in a high amount of "judgementalism", but this is a hobby, and if you like something that some other "expert" doesn't like, I wouldn't sweat over it.
Once I got to a certain "level" in the equipment, I continued to upgrade my equipment and found it was best (for me) to make one change at a time, so I could appreciate and "digest" the effects that change made, "dial in" the new piece, etc. before making the next change.
I'm finding now that I have much better equipment than I ever thought I'd have, that the next step is to understand and improve the limitations that the room acoustics present.
