The ONLY criteria for buying a system is HOW IT SOUNDS TO YOU. I have heard a lot of very positively reviewed equipment that has disappointed when auditioned. I will never buy equipment that I have never heard. Even phono cartridges, the least expensive piece of equipment in my system (currently a Lyra Skala).
Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
Long story but I ended up buying a system without auditioning a single component and haven’t set it up, what are your thoughts? Technic SL 1210 GR, nagaoka mp-500, eversolo dmp-a6, pass labs xp 17, pass labs int-250, klipsch forte iv, Cardas clear Cygnus speaker cable, Cardas clear interconnects, Cardas clear Cygnus phono cable. I know I don’t need the int-250 for the klipsch but got a great deal.
