Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?

I primarily buy used.  I will audition a piece of gear for several months this way.  If it isn't one of my favs, I just re sell it.  

In my opinion, auditing for a few hours in a room that isn't yours, with equipment that isn't yours is no match to listening in your room with your own equipment for a few weeks.  I like buying really good used equipment at a good price.  I change equipment and cyle things through and eventually sell what I no longer use.  I've done remarkably well not losing my shirt and I've been able to audition some different gear over the years which is really what it's all about.   

Auditioning?! How many here have purchased used gear for 30 years like I have without ever auditioning a single component? Auditioning, what’s that?

Many dealers and online audio companies have a "try it out first" policy. About 3/4 of my equipment was purchased this way. But I also went to my dealer on two 4 hour listening sessions since he sells equipment from his home. Don Better in Shaker Heights, OH.

OK.....by now, some of the more critical bits have been put together...

Initial thoughts?

Is it a hit? (*OW!*) Or a miss? (f/m voice, clueless: *Whaaat?*)
