Another thing, observe what is in your room. Are there alot of things that will resonate and reflect and create multiple sound waves going all over the place. I found for myself it's best to make the room quiet use furniture that will obsorb sound waves rather than reflect them. I installed on my side wall acoustical ceiling tiles covered by fabric for visual effects to dampen the sound waves. My other side wall has records for sound obsorption. The wall behind the listener has books for the same reason. The ceiling has cotton batting for the same reason. The floor will be getting futons to keep the floor from resonating. My speakers have been suspended from the ceiling, speakers being mounted in a frame with large lumber attached to it to help the bass be sensed or heard. It's totally incredible, I never thought I would have a system this good. I have been to showrooms in n.y.c. and the only thing that whips my system are the mbl's at 100,000 or so. Well there are a few others but they cost alot more than mine.

I thought for newbies and those intermediates or experts as well, it would be nice to have an intro to this fantastic hobby. Tips, secrets and advice for all different levels!
I would like to start off by saying: improve as much as you can your source to get a good idea of your speakers' potential. I did this by going with analog VPI, graham 2.2t, blackbird, ear 834, sim pre and amp, merlin. Never was I aware of my speakers potential until I got the final upgrades which were the arm and cartridge.
