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

Don’t want your credibility with someone like yourself. As far as namedropping is cocncerned. Not name dropping just telling you what I have heard. But not surprised you saw it that way. Most of your type does. But anyway. Everybody enjoy  your journey and hear as much as you can as often as you can. I wanted to hear a lot of different stuff and I have been blessed to be able to. Whether you spend 10$ or 10k enjoy your system and your music 

My two audio buddies Bill smith and the late Charles threat set out to hear and try as much gear as we can and for about 7 or 8 years we went on a journey together that was amazing. We met dealers, We developed relationships, shared music, bought and sold gear and tried to better the other persons system for the best sound in our group. We had the best time. We started cheap and bought more expensive as time went on. Usually the sound got better as we went up but not all the time. We almost heard and tried it all. I’m glad that it happened. I’m glad I learned from it all. My audio journey has been unique and I have enjoyed every bit of it. 

IN CONCLUSION

GET EXPERIENCED ADVICE FROM THISE WHO HAVE HEARD A LOT GEAR. HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE HEARD CHEAP GEAR ALL THE WAY UP TO 5 or 6 figures. MAKE SURE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE IN MATCHING SYSTEMS UP. TRY TO FIND YOUR SWEET SPOT AND GET THE BEST SYSTEM YOU CAN IN THAT RANGE. MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHATS POSSIBLE IN AUDIO BY HEARING THE HIGHEST LEVEL PROPERLY MATCHED SYSTEMS. HOWEVER, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HEARING THE BEST YOU CAN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND THEN DECIDE WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH YOUR SYSTEM! ENJOY EVERYONE AND THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR RESPONSES

OUT!

Yikes!

Wow, you and audiotroy should form a 2 man mutual admiration club.
However, electing a president would be a real problem.
