Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion?


So I have a very nice turntable with a new MC cartridge which I liked and enjoyed…that is until someone said that the cartridge was very “piercing” and in his opinion almost unlistenable. Now I find I am not enjoying it as much. Two things to add, he is not anymore “golden ear” than me, and the brands are well known with good reviews. 
But now, I don’t enjoy it as much. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me, but it does and it has impacted my enjoyment.

So, has this happen to you and what did you do?

Opinions given about the best products should be seriously discounted because anyone with audio experience under their belt should know that there are so many variables that no one solution will be best for even a minority of people.

Opinions about how to find a solution that is right for you should be given serious consideration.
