WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
It seems like when I see comments on high end gear there is a lot of negativity. I have been an audiophile for the last 20 years. Honestly, if you know how to choose gear and match gear a lot of the high end gear is just better. When it comes to price people can charge what they want for what they create. If you don’t want it. Don’t pay for it. Look if you are blessed to afford the best bear and you can get it. It can be very sonically pleasing. Then do it. Now if you are also smart and knowledgeable you can get high end sound at mid-fi prices then do it. It’s the beauty of our our hobby. To build a system that competes with the better more expensive sounding systems out there. THOUGHTS?

You're being silly because it's essentially impossible for any of us to change our economic system. But given that you're so dissatisfied with it, why do you remain a passive victim to a system you dislike? There are other countries that operate under different systems. Some are democracies, too. It's a big world! |
No, they're not. Effecting real change in systems is rare. Yes, it happens, but incremental change is much more common.
Dreamers like you tried that kind of change on Jan. 6. We saw how that worked out. |
Are you the one who brings the green been casserole to the annual Scalia Thanksgiving feast every year? |
Your effort to play the victim here probably fools no one. If you have a complaint about a user, take it to the moderators. @scottwheel is a troll practicing "sealioning." It's not new or original.

It’s not amazing at all. You’ve made dozens of posts in the space of just a few weeks, and you’ve made yourself very clear. You’re consistent. You’re a troll, and now you’re transitioning to the claim of being a victim. Who exactly do you think you're fooling? |
Thanks for granting your approval, but we really don't need your permission before making a decision. You'll have to live with that.
You couldn't be more wrong. For one thing, precise level-matching and the ability to switch quickly are basic requirements of an ABX test. There's no ABX program that truly simplifies that for comparing a component, and a flawed ABX test is, by definition, scientifically invalid. As I've noted before, conducting a scientifically valid controlled listening test such as ABX is not as simple as it may appear. I've participated in a few such tests conducted by real professionals, and the degree of diligence they displayed was really impressive. It's not a casual undertaking. |
Logical fallacy, ad hominem: Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. |
