How Do You Learn?

Thanks perkri....

Really great post indeed.....

YOUR ears are the best on determining what YOU like. If you cannot obtain your desired component to try in your own system before you purchase, then it’s advisable to sift through reviews, taking into account their audio chains and their experience in reviewing other components, and component to component comparisons, is likely the best option to help you decide if you’d like to roll the dice and purchase like many of us here. If you get enough reviews saying similar things, then chances are that you’ll likely get the same results in your audio chain provided that your audio chain is a good match- nothing is guaranteed.

Buying used may be a good option to demo, then you can sell if unsatisfactory with hopefully minimum net cash outlay.

Some have misinterpreted the intent of this post.

I ask for one source to be suggested because if everyone submits
his or her favorite place to learn then I can assemble a fresh list
for myself. 

It is not that I think one source is all that a person needs.

So far I see I have several new things to look into.

Thanks to all who contributed!
