For the nearly 50 years I've been involved with High-End Audio, it's been better because of the shared experiences of others.
Most all of what I've learned over the years has been through the help and suggestions of others. Even the times I have used my experience and knowledge to solve problems for those in need, I learned and grew.
We all likely benefit from sharing, even if it is a one-way street. Take for example the recluse who never shares the magic of his system with the outside world. While it may be true that no one but he has listened to the system, he is likely to have benefited from advice read over the internet or gleaned from a dealer—and by his questions, they learned and grew.
We benefit from the experience of others and hopefully share the results of that learning in exchange.
Community is built upon sharing.
It is how we grow and elevate the performance of our treasured audio systems.
Thanks for sharing with me.
