Timo - Actually every purchase is a "try it and hear". I am just looking for educated opinions based on experience. The buyer is always the final determining factor. I sometimes get frustrated, though, that hi-fi isn't finite enough. I really enjoy the process of doing my homework and shopping but, for example, a $700 rug is better than a $100 rug. That's not the case in audio. So the "try it and hear" is expensive. Cable's seem to be the biggest culprit. Thanks for your opinion.
TWL - isn't your response a quandry? I know what you mean and thanks. But "see what it can do" is still mystifying. I may think all sounds great. But, how would I know without countless comparisons. It's very difficult to remain satisfied in this "hobby". That's why I look for strong opinions. Thanks.
