Trouble is there's no real way to be satisfied that something is 'better' rather than 'different' without trying it out for significant periods in your own situation and system. There's the theoretical, which is what you see sometimes here, and the practical, which is that you don't get to test everything for nothing.I use my local library to test out CDs, when available, so that I can tell if I like the genre, style, artist, particular recording before I buy. Unfortunately, their collection is far too limited and the audio stores pretty much aren't set up to allow full testing, AND most won't let you return unsatisfying merchandise if it's actually been tested.
Worse yet, there's not such library of audio and acoustic gear, and it certainly doesn't exist in your or my neighborhoods! So you either: find a nice dealer who will let you try and return before buying, or buy with long enough and decent enough return policies, or you DIY at low cost first and experiment, or you pays your money and you takes your chances...
Wish I were being facetious. That's our reality.
