[QUOTE="FJF, post: 6032408, member: 601907"] I would begin with the most important factor of all - your ears. Aural acuity is not a transitive property. Meaning, we all don't hear the same thing. Critical listening is a learned skill. There may be others, but this is the only resource that I know of that teaches one what to listen for: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0964084945/?tag=caraudiocom-20"]http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-High-End-Audio/dp/0964084945[/URL] Once you know what to listen for, everything else falls into place. You'll be able to hear a system and quickly identify the problem areas. Similarly, you'll know how to fix them. There's really no substitute for experience.
