You forgot about Golfers!
Work on the basics. Get fit, stretch, stretch and stretch some more. Then Practice.
Exactly right.
Just to add some context to your comment, I'm going to share a story, so apologies for the digression from audio for a moment:
I don't know if I mentioned this previously, but before I started racing sportbikes, I trained as assiduously as a classical ballet dancer for 10 years. Like, class 4-6X/week for...10 years. I was also fortunate that that over the course of those 10 years, I had not one, but TWO ballet instructors who were trained at London's Royal Ballet training academy, the Royal Academy of Dance (aka, "RAD") as professional ballet instructors. So, I literally had world-class training all those 10 years.
And the very first thing we did in "Class", every day, was...plié in first position. Every dancer, no matter how famous they are, takes class
every day, and all of them from Nureyev to Baryshnikov, starts class with plié in first position.
One night, while I was in Damara Bennet's class in The City (San Francisco), who comes in and and stands at the barre next to me on the left? None other than one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th Century, Natalia Makarova. And what was the first thing she did along with the rest of in class that night? You guessed it, plié in first position.
Darren Cahill's right...doesn't matter what the "endeavor" is: photography, racing sport bikes, doin' big jumps in Class, tennis, whatever, Darrin's maxim holds true: "Be Brilliant at the Basics".
Same applies to enjoying our audio systems with all these wonderful products and recordings we have today: Get the "basics" (room acoustics, power & grounding, cabling, source quality, speaker placement, recordings) "sussed", as the Brits say, and "build to taste" from there.
And then, as Hans Beekhuizen says...
"Enjoy the music."
Cheers, gents, and have a great weekend.
