I only ever comment on something I've heard. Equipment, artists, or recordings. However, some components are overpriced, and seem to be aimed at the ever growing cohort of the new rich. It's fair to say that you probably obtain a more reasonable perspective on a piece of equipment when you're in possession of it for a longer period of time. Nevertheless, I'm a love at first sight man. It it doesn't wow when the needle drops, I'm out!
Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?
I have heard a lot of opinions about high end gear on the forums but a lot of it comes from folks that don’t own it. They bash it because of the price. Which I understand on one end but many don’t own, haven’t long demoed or even heard a lot of higher end gear thoughts? Please no personal bashing just your opinion?

+1 Like I said earlier, love at first sight. I'm not sure if listening for days is going to do anything other than get you used to the new sound of the system. Maybe that's the point. Maybe I'm too quick to judge, or impatient. Or maybe, I'm so satisfied with how my rig is tuned for my taste that anything that sounds "off" is not tolerated.
That, notwithstanding, it is critical to hear the test component in your system, in your room. |
