What audio aspect are you knowledgeable in?


Over the years I really appreciated the advice given me by people on this forum who are quite knowledgeable in tubes, digital, turntables, amps, speakers, and the rest. I also believe and appreciating what I'm good at and what I can advise people in. So, what do you knowledgeable in? What do you feel expert enough to confidently advise people in? For example, I feel confident enough to advise people and cartridge set up and tube selection. But I don't really feel confident enough in speaker selection, or DAC selection, or room treatment.

I am an equal opportunity music and gear lover. Personally, I do think that I have a critical ear and have been to enough live unamplifed shows and audio gatherings to have had the pleasure to hear the very best and worst that this hobby has to offer. I know intimately what my system can do and I am able to make comparisons with other gear that I have listened to, just to hear and guage where the given systems are better, worse, different etc. There are just too many quality components available that none of us have the possibility or resources to try them all, but we can try to listen to as many as we can. Even live music sounds different from evening to evening.Ā  So many variables. Enjoy the process šŸŽ¶
I stick with stuff I've heard and what I've learned from trial and error over the years. I have no special expertise just personal experience.
