I established a price range at which I'm willing to spend for each component. I've been lucky to be able to listen to components in my room prior to purchase. Finally, I trust my wife's and my own ears.
Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it?
I’m just interested on how and why you purchased your gear. Did you hear it first? Did you research it endlessly? Did your dealer recommend it. What do you like most about it. Full disclosure. I’m with Infigo Audio. I just wonder how did most of us end up with our kits!
