Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better

Shouldn't you be standing out on a ledge somewhere?

Don’t know about others but I spend a lot of time analyzing TV. I have had big disappointments with TVs when I got them home. I don’t trust at all what I see in a well lit store playing demo material suited to the TVs capability. LCD flat screens are frankly pathetic and I have never found one that I liked. I have enjoyed Panasonic Plasma and more recently the LG OLED.

I trust my eyes but not what I see in half an hour wandering through an electronics outlet. It takes countless hours and a multitude of material to discover a TVs strengths and weaknesses.

Oh in case anyone is looking at a TV - the LG OLED current top of the line 2016 model is the best picture you can achieve currently and it finally tops the plasma from several generations ago!

+1 Shadorne, I have 3 plasma's and 2 LCD's and hate the latter.  My main TV is a pioneer elite Kuro that I have had for years - I dread the day it craps out!

All good points above, if you have been at this a long time you finally settle on what makes you smile, what makes you want to listen, and what you enjoy living with long term.  I know for me, I enjoy tinkering with the system.  I have tons of cables laying around and 2 complete systems available.  I cannot imagine my rig sounding any better but sometimes I make a change just get something different.  But I always end up back where I start eventually.

People chose their tvs wrong as lcd pushed out plasma. Shows you can't trust any sense 😄  
Thanks for the lead, shadorne. 

I also agree with Mapman's  original post and Geoff's last paragraph.

Having a realization of what one wishes to achieve is paramount to achieving same. However, our wishes often change and differences from them often are appreciated. Wishes need be prioritized as to how fixed vs. malleable one might be about them. This is what is required to get the most from system expenditures. As Geoff referred to, likely few of us are completely 'in the know' regarding our priorities. 

I also agree that longer term listening, over that of A/B testing, is best for determining which of a set of components provides greatest satisfaction within a system.
