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?

I couldn't care less about who has what, whether it's more than all I spent on cars in 4 decades. What bugs me is the attitude. Which has been discussed 100s of times, nothing new to see here...

@barts I don't see your point. There could be many reasons other than envy for his comment. It could be the opposite, he was very happy with his Camry and didn't need a Ferrari to feel good about himself. You asked him. Or maybe he just tried to sound witty. Your assumptions say more about you than him.
