iv'e had some failures but i think it made me make better decisions later. now i know that if a component is described as having very fast bass it means there's no bass. if something has lots of resolution and detail...it's bright as fu*#. even sounding or flat means dull ,exciting means ear piercing. i understand why people make those mistakes it's very difficult to get synergy throwing together arbitrary components .it's almost impossible to know which components are good in the first place and after that how to pair them. even the traditional market leading companies have bad products at any price point so you can trust no one but yourself. it's a matter of luck, making good decisions and luck.
