[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 30906, member: 144"] I believe a sense of sobriety and value, and at least some basic knowledge come into it. Yes, discerning, particularly as in knowledge of limitations of hearing (especially [i]mine[/i]!) and what constitutes snake oil. [quote author=shonver] You can't. Not while you know there's better. Or smaller. [/quote] Define "better". I don't like to fork out money for what I do not get/cannot hear even if I could afford it, simply because some wise guy tells me it is (sic) "better" (maybe a wee dram of Scottish blood there somewhere). I always seem to get the impression of snobbery as very related to price in the end - I don't mean simply above entry level, but certainly when going way beyond what I started off with above. (I won't cite examples!) [/QUOTE]
