Thanks Dave, I think I have everything you mentioned nailed. Especially quality of research. That's the funny thing, I'm frequently disappointed in how the new components really sound compared to the glowing reviews I read. Of course everything is system dependent. I'm not looking for any system upgrade help myself, just curious how others fair when they try something new.
New Component Upgrade Success Rate
I like to try a new component once in a while when the upgrade bug hits. Cables, tubes, power cords, power conditioners, headphones, maybe even something major like a preamp or a DAC. I've noticed my successful adoption rate is pretty low and I usually end up returning the new component. About one out of every four or five attempts is a success. I'm batting about .200. What is your successful adoption rate when you try something new?
