Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby?
I have a friend who is interested in putting together a system and am putting together a little guide for him, compiling information I’ve found over the years, plus some of my own personal tips and tricks. However, I am by no means the end-all-be-all of knowledge and want to incorporate information, tips, and tricks from the community - however basic they may seem - into a nice reference resource.
Without specifically naming any pieces of gear or brands (this isn’t a product recommendation question), what are some of the biggest tips, tricks, important pieces of info to keep in mind, caveats, etc. that you would have for someone new?
*side note - hopefully this post can also serve as a nice reference point for people in the future, as well!
@mtbiker29 possibly the best advise here. It took me a few years to appreciate how important room treatments are. And you can apply that philosophy to many components of your system. Years ago Linn's message was "a cheap cartridge on a Linn sounds better than a expensive cartridge one on a lesser turntable" In other words understand and learn about each component you are planning to add to your system and the role they play in the sound reproduction! Best of luck in your journey! |
