Buying equipment you can buy, try in your listening room with your equipment with the ability to return for no or little money if you’re not happy. That involves Customer service and warranty. I see so many questions online after people have bought equipment and can’t get help from the manufacturer or are looking for where to get gear repaired.
What is the most overlooked consideration?
What is the most overlooked consideration when buying a piece of audio gear? We all buy gear and we all have to make choices as to what component to get, what brand, etc. What is at the top of your criteria for choosing a piece and why? Synergy? reputation of brand ?hype your heard? it’s the best compliment to my system? warranty and service? I just wanted to try a cable? I only buy brands from the UK? Etc
So you can tell what’s at the top of your list but mostly I want you to share what you think is a much overlooked consideration and why?
For myself I often think customer service gets overlooked as being very important.
