WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?


I have seen many people share what they have and what they have heard on audiogon and there are always a few people that come on with negative comments about the person bragging or,the put down the higher end gear that one is speaking about.  Why do you think that happens?

Well of course they are real or else people would not do them and stand by them....right?
Well you're either justifying the cost of expensive gear or declaring that your budget gear is just as good as the expensive stuff.  Happily I fall into the second category!

Darn it!  Of course that immediately led right to an image I'd never want to imagine...  Now I'm gonna have to find a bottle of wine and marinate with some music to hopefully dissolve that unfortunate image...

calvinj,

How many ways will you find to ask the same question, and why are you obsessed with this unimportant topic? Yes, people can be unkind in their comments about others systems etc., but why dwell on it?

There seems to be a lot of angst and navel gazing in the audiophile community regarding this topic and its variations.
