Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi?


Tough question, but if you had to list your 5 most important "Golden Rules" of hifi, from your own experiences, what would they be?
To start things off, mine would be:

1. Protect your hearing; without it, the rest is pointless.
2. Use a surge/overvoltage protection power board
3. Read lots of reviews and forums like this one
4. Don't buy secondhand speakers (bad experience!)
5. Never buy gear without listening to your own music through it.

2. Check your hearing with a hearing test.
3. Listen to what you want to buy FIRST.
4. Are you an equipment loving person or a music loving person?
5. You can get a great audio system without spending multiple thousands of dollars.
