Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?

It's really tiring. Audiophools, Snake Oil, why buy this/that. I don't give a rip what others do, although I like to read about it but none of my business. I'm just not geared that way. People want to buy a Lambo, 10,000 buck cables, 100,000 buck loudspeakers, it's no skin off my nose yet some people are obsessed with what others do. I don't get it.

Keeping ego out of things is hard.

I have a very healthy ego, but years of competition have taught me to respect my competitors and enjoy the process of competition.

in an industry that often seems bedevilled by sharks, starry eyed cable enthusiasts and the dreaded snake oil purveyors.

You need to find a new place to buy gear.

Anything more expensive than that will only be incrementally better, and logarithmically more expensive.

Having owned Grado60s and LS-50s, I can tell you there is an audio world out there that is a quantum leap past that level of gear. But I do agree with what you were trying to say.
