new audiophile education

I consider myself a new "audiophile" wanting to learn the basics on equipment, how to match components, reviews on how they perform, etc...
I use the audiogon site for all my knowledge, but, I still find it difficult to acquire the basics by searching through the learn section of the site. Very time consuming.
It would be great if the site included a section dedicated to the basics: specifications, definitions, installation guides, etc..

Well, gee. If it were that easy we wouldn't have any of these online forums cuz we'd have nothing to talk about. ;-)

Seriously, no one learns this stuff overnight. Keep reading, asking questions, experiment for yourself, etc.

Wait a minute! Dvdgreco, you've been around here since 2003. Is this a trick question? :-)

No trick it's just a proposal for audio-education pages here on 'gon.

no trick questions.

Yes a member since 2003; however, as life changes and kids come into the picture things change. I am now getting back into the scene and trying tube stuff. This is new to me and looking for assistance.

Ah, I get it. Not sure where to start? First, figure out your budget. Think about what music you are going to spend most of your time listening to. Think about what kind of sound do you like. Warm and fuzzy? Clean and clear as you can get? If you can get this stuff nailed in your mind it will help guide you. This is going to be YOUR system so the most important thing in all of this is to get YOUR toes tapping.
