Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better


Often anything good that is merely different seems better.    So many aspects of sound, things to listen for. Takes time to really know what parts are better and what might actually be worse in a complementary sense

When the recording engineer tries out several different microphones to find out which is best suited to a vocalist, do you think he spends weeks getting familiar with the resulting vocal sound?  How many laps does it take for a formula one driver to know whether the tire formulation works or doesn't work?  Did you think Jeff Beck needs months to figure out whether a new guitar is better or worst than the last guitar?

In each of the above examples the decision maker has a vast level of experience to draw upon, so could it be that the more experience you have the quicker you can make decisions?
