I am interested in sharing an upcoming experience and relating that process to what I feel is missing in the audio Industry and particularly missing in the High End Audio Industry. This has bothered me for many years and to be honest I was not sure that the public and the industry wanted to hear my thoughts.
I have done a lot of research over the last few months on a process that is another interest of mine. I am a golfer and I love it. I started watching videos on YouTube over the Pandemic and I realized that the "fitting" I have done before in my golf life were total BS. The type of fitting one gets in a big box golf retailer are only the tip of the iceberg and since they are also in business to sell clubs one wonders are they selling you what's best for you or what's best for them!
I did some research to find qualified fitters who are brand agnostic. This means they fit you and provide you information to get clubs built to you personal specifications. Its like going to an eye doctor. They give you the script and you go and buy the glasses wherever you want. This is an analogy of course but it is very close.
I am going to do the process this weekend and very much look forward to the result.
You may ask what's my point in regards to High End audio?
My point is this are you going to the right place to get your gear? Are they truly experts and are they truly looking after you and your needs? Are they qualified to know the differences and are they able to set up your gear to get the performance you paid for?
