Be honest, how many audiophiles do you actually know? I work in pro AV and have been surrounded by audiophiles for 20+ years and this applies to exactly 1 person I've ever known and it was freshman year of college
Sounds like this person you're describing is just a douchebag who wants to sound smart. We'd love to tell you all about our systems but we're not gonna complain about your Walmart soundbar unprompted
i spent years working both in a recording studio and in live sound, and in permanent audio installs (sound systems for venues). so yes, i've worked around more audiophiles than the average person. i concede that the annoying can't-just-shut-up-and-listen variety is relatively rare, but i've known more than a few
My belief is most people who describe themselves as audiophiles are in the 2nd group but think they're in the 1st group
