He’s actually clear headed and very comfortable with his purchases. While you and I may not spend that kind of coin on cables, I don’t necessarily think that makes us smarter. It’s his money.
Yep, I have a TLA I personally use....MFB: Male Fighting Behavior.
FWIW, I see the same exact behavior in any internet forum that is predominantly all-male: sports cars, sport bikes, digital cameras, as well as audio. Doesn't matter what the "subject" or topic is, I see the same exact behavior. By contrast, you never see women behaving this way on-line.
I'm going to update my thoughts on this after reading comments about "more money than sense" to include the additional motive of jealousy. I think when people are jealous of what others have or spend money on, they result to personal attacks.
This discussion has been interesting. I know a fellow audiophile who has purchased a handful of Odin Gold Power cables. They list for $34,999 for 1.25 meters. Bet we know how he feels about the importance of power cables. In total, he has more money sunk in Nordost cables than I have in my entire system.
Too funny Craig, proving some people have more money than brains !
For man-jewelry we used to be kind of limited to just watches. But now that we have audio bling on our side the sky’s the limit. If only Patek Philippe made stereo gear. Then we’d really be in clover.
I wish D'Agostino would make a Watch
He does, it's on the front of the amplifiers ...

I've gotten to a "phiiosophical place" about folks' comments, and as such, have adopted a Stoic tenet espoused by Marcus Aurelius: “Tranquility…comes when you stop caring what they say. Or think, or do. Only what you...do."
Understanding is a choice. Some people choose to pretend they don't to support their agenda.
