Playing with audio is an interest and a toss. When the enthusiast's vision and hardware conditions are enriched, they will consider upgrading the audio.
This is a long process of "from shallow to deep" and "from frugality to luxury". It requires a lot of energy, physical strength and money to truly feel the fun of playing with the audio. This is the value of audio fever.
part of the audiophile who has just stepped out of the threshold of "newbie" will easily get into three major traps due to lack of experience when upgrading the audio: blindly following the crowd, eager to "get it in one step", and thinking that "expensive" is "right". Often, these seemingly trivial minor mistakes will cause big problems.
Error zone 1: Blindly following the crowd
It is important to learn to listen to other people's opinions, but it is more important to have your own subjective judgment. Audio enthusiasts are a niche circle. If you have the opportunity to talk to Lao Shao, you may get much more experience than you think about it yourself.
But this does not mean that you should blindly agree with Lao Shao’s “experience”. Your ears are your own. Everyone has a different sense of listening. You may not like what others like. In terms of audio upgrades, if you blindly choose based on market popularity and other people’s experience, without thinking about it, it is easy to choose something that is not suitable for you.

In fact, when you do not have enough audio judgment ability, blindly listening to one side's words is easy to make one-sided mistakes. You need to know that "listen to both sides, and listen to the obvious, and listen to the dark side". Only by listening to different audio upgrade experiences from different channels at the same time, and combining your own reality to think about how to "take the essence and innovate", and analyze the most worthy of reference, can you successfully assist in the upgrade of audio.
Error zone 2: Thinking that "expensive" is "right"
If you have money, you can buy expensive ones, isn't it easier to buy the right ones? This is actually a misunderstanding. How can you succeed when your direction is wrong?
Although the law of "you get what you pay for" is also applicable in the audio industry. Under reasonable circumstances, the higher the price of the audio, the better, but this "good" is completely different from suitable. The "performance" and "character" combination of

The "performance" combination and "character" combination of audio are more important than spending money. This requires us to make a judgment based on our own listening preferences, room acoustic processing, audio equipment matching, price and other factors.

Different speakers have their own different characteristics. For example, the "British Sound" speaker has a soft tone, delicate and musical sense, and is suitable for listening to classical music, light music and bel canto songs; while the "American Sound" speaker pays attention to momentum, strength and courage, has good transient response, wide dynamic range, and is superior to low-frequency reproduction, and has excellent performance when replaying rock music or electronic music.
If you are a rock music enthusiast, then even if you spend a huge amount of money to buy a set of "British Voice" speakers, it will not be as effective as the "American Voice" speakers.
Error zone 3: Trying to "get to the sky in one step"
Don't think about "get it in one step". This is actually a cliché in the circle of enthusiasts. The reason is that the audiophiles who want to upgrade the audio step by step can easily fall into a situation of insufficient budget.
Many people have not yet understood the temperament of audio, nor do they know what type of music they like to listen to. They just started out and wanted to study old burning equipment for several years or even decades. In the end, it backfired. No matter how much money they spend, they would not get the good sound they wanted, because they didn't think about the right direction at the beginning.

The road to advancement of enthusiasts should be progressive step by step, and the audio upgrade should also be done step by step.If it is a first burn, there is no need to upgrade the audio too early, otherwise it will easily fall into the trap of "compileing equipment without understanding music".
If the newly purchased equipment does not achieve the ideal effect, you might as well start with it quietly. Patience is the most valuable quality for enthusiasts.
speaker upgrade, you need to gradually upgrade
If you achieve a certain audio experience accumulation and knowledge reserve, if you want to upgrade the audio, you can take it slowly from low to high, so that your ears can enjoy a gradual process.
Take Tianyi products as an example: the first set of speakers in life is suitable for choosing a combination of TY-30CD machine + AD-66D combined amplifier + TD-7SE speakers. This set can be regarded as Tianyi’s entry-level Hi-Fi set. The performance is stable and easy to debug. The most important thing is that it has extremely high cost performance. You can get a complete set of around 10,000 yuan, which is very suitable for enthusiasts who are just starting out and want to try it.
When you have accumulated enough experience and want to continue product upgrades, you can consider purchasing the next set, but it is recommended not to choose a huge gap at once. You can first experience one higher level, such as Tianyi's TY-i30 player + AD-3PRO + combined amplifier + TD-2 speakers. The AD-3PRO + in this set of equipment is Tianyi's latest flagship Hi-Fi amplifier. It uses solid materials and has significantly improved performance in all aspects, which can bring a "quality" leap in the listening experience.
and so on. After understanding the previous set, you can continue to consider higher-end and more complex audio equipment.
