WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?

“thats good for you. We can agree to disagree. That’s perfectly fine I don’t have anything to prove to you. Even if someone did you are stuck to how you feel. Take care.”

I am genuinely happy for you that you enjoy your stereo. But your last remark strikes at the very heart of this matter. You have continually tried to give your beliefs credibility by attacking the credibility of those such as myself with very different views. You want to agree to disagree but you also want to characterize me as “stuck in my position.”  A mischaracterization that I suspect makes you feel better about your own beliefs. Because there is something unsettling about someone who has such different beliefs but can’t be discredited or dismissed some how some way.
 

There is a very easy test to see if someone is stuck in their position. Let’s try it. It goes like this. 
 

What would it take to persuade you that you are wrong about cable sound and power cord sound? Answer that question honestly and I will do the same. And then we can see who is stuck in their position.

Wow this thread went down the toilet. 

@jacobsdad2000  , I am having a flashback from the audio asylum days.  It is not a good trip that I am experiencing.

@scottwheel im not attacking your credibility I’m just never going to agree with you.  

“ I’m not attacking your credibility I’m just never going to agree with you.”

let’s take this moment to think about what it means to be stuck in one’s position. It is often mistakenly believed that open mindedness and skepticism are diametrically opposing ideologies. They aren’t. True skepticism is the ultimate form of open mindedness. It means being open to possibilities that something might be true or that something might not be true. Including our own current beliefs. I don’t take the position that I would never agree with you. I take the position that my disagreement with you is subject to change should new compelling evidence come to light. But evidence needs to be verifiable and repeatable. Not anecdotal. 

Beating a dead horse, by some 🙄
