One thing I've noticed is that people who claim that high end audio gear is not "worth" it are the same people that say flying first class is just a waste of money.
Those people have never flown first class.
Having flown first class I can assure you it is a waste of money unless you travel VERY far and a LOT.
Provide me with empirical evidence that there is a discernible difference between high quality electronics and you will convert me. Give me anecdotal evidence and I say its just a piddling contest.
