What will audiophiles do Different?

I would spend more time in shops and less time on the internet and find a dealer who knows his stuff.

Lots of missteps and money lost buying and selling gear not being happy, wasting money on tweaks etc.  

I don't want to be told what to buy but sit me down and play something that puts a huge smile on my face and I'll gladly pay a bit more rather than get suckered into marketing and reviews...
