I enjoyed many an evening over the space of decades comparing gear with two TAS reviewers who became mentors.
It was rare that any of us disagreed as to what we heard - yet our systems reflected different preferences.

I learned an incredible amount about music and how to listen from John Cooledge who remains a bass in the ASO Chorus. It was he who got me a spot in the Telarc recording of "The Firebird". Harry Pearson, his long time friend added to that with a even wider exposure to high end gear.
There were also many evenings with reviewer Randy Tomlinson, Julian Scharfmanm a high end dealer in the Atlanta area, Jud Barber of Joule Electra, Luke Manley of VTL, Mike Hobson of Classic Records among others.
Who assisted your learning of music and audio?

what questions you ask.
Sorry you didn't have any audio mentors. That explains your reliance upon simple metrics to tell you how components sound.
I didn't ask WHO your "mentors" were, I asked about the number of them, "only two?" was the question. That refers to numbers, not names....

have the level of expertise and exposure with music and audio as they, you really don't need more. :)
I'm sure you really really know what you like now, especially with all those impressive mentors telling you what is best. You are truly blessed!

you never had anyone guide your learning process and expose you to better.
Hang on, exposing you to ........ ?
what was best for me by myself, not what someone else claimed was best. It's not algebra, it's entertainment, silly....I never needed a mentor to teach me about what food or wine I like best either. Some people have a need for support and confirmation from others. Whatever makes you feel good.
