What's your biggest surprise in hifi?


After being in this hobby since the 70's, my own 2 biggest surprises are: [1] records sound better than cds. [2] More expensive isn't necessarily better. [for example, I once paid well over $10,000 for a set of separate components which were bettered by a $1500 integrated amp....What were your biggest surprises?

Second note;

there exists a ton of info inbedded into both digital + vinyl recordings.

The key (and trick) is to carefully select the gear that will extract it the best! Do not forget about cables and power cords.

OP-


tell us more about the $1500- integrated amp?


Rogue Audio amps sounds better than the Audio Research integrated amps. Better value as well.
