I watch Jay’s audio Channel on YouTube. Is most knowledgeable about high-end gear. The gear is really pretty and very very expensive. Eastern
Truth is get to know a dealer really well and speak to other dealers about products and learn learn learn. They tend to know a lot and many are willing to talk to you. Always stretch to a higher level along the food chain and avoid the costly process of upgrading which you no doubt will if you start too low on the food chain.
Also pick a topic and search it here on the forum and many responses are really helpful as there are some exceptionally bright people who frequent this forum. I'm struck by how some of these individuals know a lot of shit.
