Words From the Wise

Hello fellow Audiophiles and Audio Enthousiast. I've been in the game for a little over 4 months now and I've learned tonnes of stuff along the way thanks to some very knowledgeable people on this website and in my local community (but mostly on this website).

I'll get right to the point.

Whether you are new to the game or a veteran I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the top 5 things you would tell a fellow Audiophile to better his/her enjoyment of this wonderful hobby. Please use point form or short paragraphs

Have not followed this thread,but here are some things I have found to help.

1.Intergrate your system so that your HT does not interfer with your 2ch. playback.
I use a Passive with a Lexicon CP-3Pro which is better than a cheap reciever.

2.Buy stuff that can be modified if you cannot afford expensive gear.Get it modified as you go along.
Ex.Modified ART DAC and a good transport is better than a $3K Sony player.

3.Cables do count and I would check to see what the best affordable alternatives are for your equiptment.

4.Save your $$ by building your own tweeks.

5.When auditioning equiptment try to get it for a home audition.

6.Bring your own music and particular parts off tracks to see what they sound like.

7.Check to see if there is good used equiptment before buying new to save $$.

8.Spend alot on Music because that is what it's all about with the $$ you do save.

9.When getitng a sub get one that goes closest to 20Hz..Better yet try to get as close to full range speaker's.

10.Don't believe everything you read and checkout the source of the info.

Good luck!
