Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?

I take every opportunity at shows, stores, peoples houses, live venues, whatever to have opportunities to hear different things and what might sound or work best for me. Does that make my opinion more valid? It does for me and that’s all I can bank on.

You can’t hit the target if you don’t know where the bullseye is. Everyone hears differently and has a different target that they are shooting for. Some targets are more similar than others, some might be total night or day.

Scale is a big factor in cost.   It cost way less to get the best possible sound in a smaller room than a very large one.   Paying top dollar for gear that will go on a smaller room is probably not very cost effective but as said in anything high end bling is a factor for many as well. 

I’ll go out on a limb and say a reliable indicator of a truly good system is it makes all kinds of music sound the best it can, acoustic or electronic. It’s all music. Can’t pick and choose.

OK, who woke mapman up? And why didn’t he post once with all those thoughts together in the same post instead of three separate posts? Oh, wait a second, I think I know why........😬

There you go again with the post envy.  You should get that taken care of.
