WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?

‘It is usually against those who spend money on more expensive equipment and cabling. Why is this so prevalent?’

Its called PENnIeS Envy!

They either don’t have one, can’t afford one, or are intimidated and feel others equipment  (not literally) …are bigger!

Thats my logic!

calvinj’s original posting question has suddenly morphed somewhat with the three answers received in the last hour.

Gee whiz !

Runaway train…..

Discombobulated ?

What do you make of it calvinj ?

A true to life heart felt answer.

People should not just be in love with the term ‘audiophile’ or think it makes them special to believe it’s a unique camp or club to be a member of….like ‘hi-end’

Just enjoying the musical experience and pleasure a hi-fi system generates for you is the most important thing here and not the, ‘l have got this or you need that’ mumbo-jumbo.

Thats my logic.

‘Are you related to Paul Harvey?’

Wish l was! I wonder what he did with the 10 year $100 million contract he signed?

I did get quite near to a famous ‘Harvey’ in the 70s. I was lucky to see James Stewart in London acting in his stage play, Harvey. Those who know of his original film of the same name will also be aware of his imaginary friend.

I hope some out there ‘get’ the simile l have drawn here…..Like ‘audiophile’ and the imaginary ‘rabbit’…..neither things are real in the end….or are they?

AUDIOPHILE…..Supposition :-

If you imagine that you are a good car driver, does it make (in your mind) your car more special too?

If you have a superior hi-fi system, does it make you (in your mind) any more harmonised with music?

Bad drivers who love their cars, keep them well maintained and shiny will still be bad drivers…..

Some ‘audiophiles’ love their system more than anything else, just have to boast about their (imaginary) friend.

The question is……why do some people want to be labeled audiophiles and blast it out like a big multi-note car horn?

l have a high-end system!
Being an audiophile……..

And all that!

Yawn!

Because of the over-opinionated, slobbery-snobbery out there!

Nothing more, and nothing less…..
