I've given advice to friends looking to upgrade their listening system, and it's worked out fine. I generally recommend things they can listen to at a local store, or online retailers who will accept returns if necessary...
Helping friends/relatives with system purchases, your experience.
Throughout the years I have helped some friends and realitives with system/component purchases. I/we have had very good success and through this happiness. I, however, have heard of some negative results in trying to be of assistence in helping others. My very best friend and my sister have been good examples of the help working well for all. How has your esperience(s) been?
