Good sound/audio quality used to be a priority in peoples lives. It still is for a very select few (who are still alive), but the vast majority of people could not care less about it. Bad is good enough and worse is fine too. The junk culture decimated this hobby over the past 40 years and the number of people who are discerning about anything, let alone audio, dwindles with each passing day. I still love it even though my friends and family think I'm out of my mind.
What is your audio axiom?
So we all have been given audio advice and also shared with others our tips and advice. I ask you to share your #1 audio axiom. If you were giving advice or sharing experience (say to a young person starting in this hobby) what would it be?
Here is mine (to start). “No matter how good your audio equipment or system, the quality of any given recording will make or break the listening experience”
Now the ball is handed to you guys…

Find a seasoned, nearby Mentor, if at all possible, or an audio club. Our hobby attracts helpful, open-hearted people...willing to share their time and knowledge with others. Many of us have compiled cables and audio accessories to share or sell at bargain prices knowing we are advancing our hobby. We have reached an amazingly accessible time for solid audio with todays chip dacs and-op amps. YouTube reviewers like Randy (cheapaudioman,) Ron (New Record Day) and Jay's Iagi (for entry level hi end) provide wonderful information for beginners. With over 50 passionate years "in the chase," I'd be happy to help whoever wants to reach out. More Peace Pin (bold print for old eyes)
