Please stop only focusing on products and brands. Try to learn what sound is and what it does. Just start reading about how our emotion works regarding music. Trial and error will never bring you to a stunnig and addictive level.
Audio is not about me either, try to learn to look a little further. This is a new year so see it as a new opportunity. Do not make it personal all the time. When people make it personal, I will put a mirror in front of you. Just reply on the thread.
Try to become aware that trial and error is the main reason why audio is often so limited. When you do something without a real foundation the facts proof that the results are limited and will stay limited. I am not the one who limits you. You need to learn and become aware that each person is the one who can limit himself.
You only can reach a higher level when you try to do things differently!
