私の感じた、“良い”機器やアイテムの見つけ方について書いてみようと思います。

オーディオに限らず身の回りには様々なモノが有ると思います。その中から“良い”モノを選ぶ際にどの様な基準で選ばれるでしょうか？

オーディオで言えば、“スペック”や“値段”や“世間の評判”や“売却時の値段”などなどの選び方も有ると思います。

しかし、“音を聴いたときの衝撃”や“見た目”などのご自身の感じた感覚を信じてみるのは如何でしょうか？

“スペック”や“値段”などの購入する理由を探すのでは無く、“音を聴いたときの衝撃”や“見た目”などのご自身の感覚を信じてみるのです。

何故かと言いますととても単純で、“自分を説得させる理由”を探すのでは無くて、“自分が説得させられている”と言う余計な理由すら必要無い程の説得力の有るモノを選べるからです。

もう既に“理由”は揃いました。残る問題はお値段です。お値段の問題はとても大きいです。ですが、“余計な理由で選んだモノ”で右往左往するよりも“自分を説得させた実力の有るモノ”を多少高価でも頑張って貯めて購入する方が安く済む事が往々に有るのです(実体験です)。

勿論、様々なモノを試す冒険も楽しい“道”ですので、否定は出来ません。得られる知識や感覚も有ります。

自分を説得させたモノを選ぶ方法は“近道”になりやすいだけですので、何方の“道”も実際には正解なのだとも思います。

この文章が何方かのお力になれる事を願って終わります。

I will write about how I find ‘good’ equipment and items.

There are many things around us, not just in the audio industry. What criteria do you use when choosing a ‘good’ item from among them?

In the case of audio equipment, there are many ways to choose, such as “specifications”, “price”, “reputation”, “price at the time of sale”, “price at the time of sale” and so on. There are many ways to choose.

But how about trusting your own sensations, such as “the impact when you hear the sound” or “the appearance”?

Instead of looking for reasons to buy, such as “specs” or “price”, why not trust your own senses, such as “impact when you hear the sound” or “appearance”? You can also trust your own senses, such as “the impact of the sound” or “the look”.

The reason for this is very simple: instead of looking for a reason to persuade yourself, you can choose something so convincing that you don’t even need an extra reason to say “I am being persuaded”. This is because you don’t have to look for “reasons to persuade you”.

The “reasons” are already in place. The remaining problem is the price. The price is a big issue. However, it is often cheaper to save up and buy “something that has the ability to convince you”, even if it is a little expensive, than to go right and left with “something that you chose for unnecessary reasons” (actual experience).

Of course, adventures in trying different things are also a fun “path”, so there is no denying it. There is also the knowledge and sensations you can gain.

I think that any “path” is actually the right one, because it is easy to take a “shortcut” by choosing the things that persuade you.

I hope this article will be of help to some of you.
