    Used to happen more often, but not recently - not "complete" rethink.

    Almost every time I go to a dealer and listen to a system that costs many times what mine did (including my used Magnepans), it makes me realize how crappy most gear sounds for the money, even in good rooms.

    Has happened with both headphone and speaker systems, but more often with speaker systems. SBAF truly does help folks save money and focus on high value, good sounding gear.

    All the time, well early on. Even some meets gifted me that idea.

    I like to think I know what I want, and what I value in good sound.

    My sonic priorities used to be headstage and macrodynamics and Starlett made me question how wide is too wide and Focal MG made ask when is lively too exuberant. In both cases, I went back to MJ2+HD800, but I often look back. Mid-fi purgatory continues.

    @E_Schaaf, do tell. For me, comfort is the priority. Can't enjoy the music if my head hurts. Hence Brainwavz pads with large ear holes for TH-X00 instead of Dekoni.
