In my opinion, auditing for a few hours in a room that isn't yours, with equipment that isn't yours is no match to listening in your room with your own equipment for a few weeks. I like buying really good used equipment at a good price. I change equipment and cyle things through and eventually sell what I no longer use. I've done remarkably well not losing my shirt and I've been able to audition some different gear over the years which is really what it's all about.
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.
