@newbee any books that you would recommend?
Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby?
I have a friend who is interested in putting together a system and am putting together a little guide for him, compiling information I’ve found over the years, plus some of my own personal tips and tricks. However, I am by no means the end-all-be-all of knowledge and want to incorporate information, tips, and tricks from the community - however basic they may seem - into a nice reference resource.
Without specifically naming any pieces of gear or brands (this isn’t a product recommendation question), what are some of the biggest tips, tricks, important pieces of info to keep in mind, caveats, etc. that you would have for someone new?
*side note - hopefully this post can also serve as a nice reference point for people in the future, as well!

@noromance yeah i noticed the typo a bit ago but can't edit the thread title...🤦♂️ Thanks for the recommendation |
Don’t be led by performance specs alone- your great overachieving wonder box may end up sounding nothing more than harsh. Although it’s practically impossible these days- try to hear as much as you can in person. Try to avoid being the Guinea Pig when it comes to new products. Give a little time for the buzz to wear off- that’s usually when people’s honest opinions come out. Pay attention to what products are being sold and how often- this can be a good indicator of how satisfied people actually were based on its age.
