Acoustics and Critical Listening.

As @ erik_squires and others have often mentioned ;  the room is often forgotten  . We  put too much amphasis
on electronics.

That is what ,your wife said ,on your wedding night.
And you have never got over it .
An average system in a very good room may sound better than a good system in a crappy room.

I think, the point of link up above was about the amount of money , we spend on upgrading cables , upgrading DAC , amplifiers , speakers , power conditionners  , etc.
A fraction of that amount used for room acoustic treatment may be a
better use of money. I see this as basic .
We have all experienced , expensive systems in audio show that sounded like Wallmart gears.
@bigkidz

Tell me where , you saw a comparaision between real instrument,
and electronics in this thread ?If you did , it is time you see a specialist .
@bigkidz 
Who knows, with a very little room treatment , your Bose Wave Radio  may sound nearly as goog as the ´´ custom designed Tube Audio Components. DHT 101D Tube preamplifier, 6SN7 Tube preamplifier, 1010D Tube DAC, Tube Phono Stage, Hybrid Stereo amplifier ´´  that you built .  Your Bose may sound   ´´  like nothing you have ever heard before! ´´

I can get mad too.

@millercarbon´´ You are lost , dead lost ´´ if you think that I think  that a Bose Radio
sound as good as a 300B  tube in a good acoustic room.
It is @bigkidz  that brough this . I took his idea and inflated it to the
an absurd level.You haven’t seen that. On which planet do you live?
´´You’re just upset because ´´ you are not used to be  counter attacked.  It is funny to see you , play the psychologist . You would rather need one.
I have just brough this thread as a discussion, with the link up above. YOU are here to win. You should give your feedback to the writer of the article.

About attacking others , it is more your trade mark than me.
´´ Psychologicly’´ speaking , it is called : Projection . A defence mechanism of the EGO.
Some members  here think about themeselves as God.
Well ,... I am  atheist

Now , should I delete this thread ?I was looking for positives discussions.
This not the way it turned out.
@bigkidz 
You may be the only one who noticed that my post tu you  , relating to  tube  amplifier , etc ;  was from your Virtual System.
This is why , I used    ´´   ´´
May be , you should use things like :  lol ,  :-)))       
But you are right, I did not understand that you were joking
I perceived it as sarcasme  , the same about @mapman  post       My bad    lol

 
@mahgisterThanks for the explanation
I am not perfectly bilingual , so the deep sense of some words
is out of reach for me sometime.

@millercarbon is brilliant ( I am serious ), he knows a lot more about audio than me.
He gives good idea here , on AudioGon.It is just too bad , he has not received a couple of kiks in the ass 
when he was young. He would have learned how to behave socialy.

@millercarbon

Yes MegaMind, you are right
In the futur , try a litte bit of french
with me .....

What about water ?Wales can hear for miles .
There is music in pools for synchronised swimming

I don’t know what is in your head ? Air or water . That simple
@ebm
Your room is not .....what ?

Racks , Pucks, Cones , Granit slabs under speakers, cables holders,
Synergistic Black Box , HFT , the coming Vibratron .They do make a difference. Are they ´´ Room treatment ´´ . They are not ´´ Electronics ´´ . Often called ´´Tweaks ´´ Are they in a particular
category ?
