1: Focus as much time and effort to learn about new music as you do the music system. Afterall, it's all about the enjoyment of the music. Without this, what's the point to all the madness of assembling a system.
2: Learn to enjoy what you have rather than constantly being self-pressured to make changes/upgrades.
3: Keep an open mind. We often have expectations on how a component will sound or compare to another only to have the outcome be quite the opposite.
4: Network with other people in the hobby. There is so much to learn through friendships here.
5: Every link in the chain is an equal. Some links may take more time for us to find the "right" piece, but each can only perform at its best if all else is there as well. The result is a well-integrated system rather than simply an assembly of pieces.
