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

Tell you what and this i learned many yrs ago. Find a girl fall in love and one day you will come to realize even a clock radio can sound magical. It's all about the music and how you relate to at a given moment in time. The magic is IN you!

Find music you love and listen to it till it makes you cry. the gear doesn't matter. If you can feel the emotion from the music, you are there.

Consider looking at DIY speaker sites. Some members use active crossover’s with multiple amps with carefully "matched to spec" high-end drivers. Stereo active crossovers are a very convenient DIY audiophile tool to own. You can upgrade cabinet drivers easily. If you like tone controls to correct poor recordings in a particular room, the active crossover’s separate bass, midrange, and treble volume controllers for the independent drivers is very clean and hard to beat.

Don't let this hobby let you listen to one reference recording gazillion times trying different tweaks, wires, powercords... Listen to more music and spend time and money for more music.
