Not this week.
Did not give it enough time on the first go-around?
Have you ever circled back to realize later you did not give some new component(s) in your audio system enough time - possibly overlooked it too quickly on the first go-around:
For example, i.e new speakers, tubes, or interconnect cables, maybe other "lower-level" versions you rotated out too quickly before jumping back to more familiar or higher grade ones... A few of my "best of overlooked" are below.
Care to share some of yours?

Tubes:
- Tung Sol KT120 output tubes / new reissue Tung Sol 6SN7GTB
Interconnects;
- Analysis Plus Copper Oval-In single ended RCA cables

It's rare to see anyone who is sure getting it right on the first try, particularly with speakers, amplifiers, and proper matching in a given room setting, new or used. Many senior members here owned notably different gear 4-5 years ago. Curiosity makes it very difficult to stay put, sometimes. Best of luck to all on that effort :)

Can you share examples.. Are your local dealers offering free trial periods -or- are you buying / paying for shipping components back and forth, in some cases dealers asking trial’ees to pay up to ~25% restocking fees for returns. Trials can be tricky, particularly for large and heavy items, amps, speakers. What type of components are you referring to doing "trials" on?
