Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
Somehow I managed to select components that are getting along and feel comfortable with how things are sounding after many upgrades. I rely on others to advise along the way. I'm very good at asking questions.
Every facet of a set up is quite complicated. Even power cord's can be challenging. Name recognition is very important and there are so many names.
The technical aspects of everything involved is clearly overwhelming and requires a lot to barely understand. I've learned enough to know that I really don't understand a lot. At least I'm able to appreciate what I'm listening to which is all that really matters, and know if something sounds good.
Just my thoughts for what they are worth.

@richardbrand Thank you. That answers my question. Since the picture shows him playing the pedals, I was curious why pedaling could also be entirely encoded onto the rolls. I read that the Duo-Art was invented in 1913–14, and it’s amazing that the machine could even simulate ’flutter’ pedaling performed by a pianist—though only to a certain degree and heavily dependent on how the rolls were prepared or edited. It’s remarkable that it achieved all this not digitally, but purely through pneumatic control of mechanical parts. I enjoy talking with you about these detailed nuances. While listening to music on a refined system, the intellectual enrichment is equally refreshing and rewarding.

Similar experience/journey. what really helped educate my ears was being part of a small group of fellow audiophiles and regular listening sessions at each others houses and we were all going thru different gear as upgrades or just on loan to listen to. we also played a lot with speaker positions and room treatments in each of our rooms. being able to listen to a lot of gear and with mags like the absolute sound and stereophile as our guides was a great experience.
