In the 1990's when I was young and had a ton of energy and ambition, I did a lot of trial and error. I mean a lot of running back and forth to various audio salons. I happen to hit on a few combinations of really great sounding gear. Those impressions have stayed with me to this day. I'm much less focused on it all now as health issues and other matters have crowded in. I'm in the process of finishing my new basement. Maybe that will restart my interest in it all.
What audio aspect are you knowledgeable in?
Over the years I really appreciated the advice given me by people on this forum who are quite knowledgeable in tubes, digital, turntables, amps, speakers, and the rest. I also believe and appreciating what I'm good at and what I can advise people in. So, what do you knowledgeable in? What do you feel expert enough to confidently advise people in? For example, I feel confident enough to advise people and cartridge set up and tube selection. But I don't really feel confident enough in speaker selection, or DAC selection, or room treatment.
