How Do You Learn?

You need a solid information base. So an absolute requirement is: The Complete Guide to High-End Audio. by Robert Harley

Winner winner chicken dinner!   

I was gonna say that but didn't want to just give it away. There is so much in that book, the typical audiophile even after many years can pick it up and still learn a lot. Highly recommended!

I’ll have to come up and claim that chicken dinner sometime… if this pandemic would ever end. I spent last week in Leavenworth… closer to your place.

Thanks for the link Nonoise!

Not this forum.
Possibly Steve Guttenberg but Stereophile and Absolute Sound are not bad also.  The German magazine Stereo is good also but a bit Eurocentric in the gear it covers.

Stereophile, mainly Herb Reichert, and analog planet’s Michael Fremer...just a few...lots can be learned by just reading reviews, even on equipment you could never realistically afford...there is no one source really, you just have to continually seek the info you desire...the internet is a wonderful thing. I second the book suggested by MC...
