Product Purchasing Factors

[AudioDoctor]

Believe it or not, it's actually hard to get me to part with money. The more something costs, the more difficult it is. That said here are my considerations when considering a new piece of equipment.

 

1) Will it provide a tangible benefit or improvement to my enjoyment of the music?

 

2) Who or what is standing behind this product?

     a) how mature is this product?

     b) what does support look like?

 

3) Is this something that will last a long time, reliably?

 

4) if it's not 100% perfect for my needs right now, will it grow into what I want and will the company put in the time and effort to update it along the way?

    a) Am I willing to live with the compromises until then?

 

5) Is the cost of the item justifiable in terms of increasing my enjoyment of the music?

 

6) Is it made in America? Can I buy it locally?

 

These are some off the top of my head after a bit of thought on the subject.
