I've been a music aficionado my whole adult life, but only recently got into the 'audiophile' (ahem...) groove. I don't consider myself nearly in the same critical listening class as are many Head-Fi-ers but I try to buy quality equipment based on the better-informed opinions of others. I might have more musical insight than I give myself credit for, but I know I can't (and don't want to) articulate and analyze to the amazing levels of many of my colleagues here. -- but I certainly take advantage of the insights of others!
