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?

It’s old news.
 It has nothing to hifi, it has to do with money.

I drive a VW and you’re crazy for driving a Porsche. I drive a Porsche and think you’re stupid for driving a Lamborghini. I drive a Lambo and can’t understand someone driving a McLaren. He must have a little di k you laugh and say to yourself.

I have a Node and you have a DCS Rossini Apex.  You must be stupid for sending that much! No one can hear the difference anyway you say to yourself.
