The Final Frontier for audiophiles is learning how to control the local environment. And what affects the sound, you know, other than the components, speakers, room acoustics, house AC, house wiring, and all that rather mundane stuff. Of course the hardest part is convincing suspicious and clever audiophiles that this is even remotely a good idea. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound?
I got two 18 inch Scaena sealed subwoofer(120lb each , Kevlar/Carbon composite cones) last Friday.
But delivery man dropped the package in my garage.
My neighbor helped me to move 120 lb subwoofers to my third floor listening room on Sunday.
It is fun with subass rumble to real 16hz in the background.
The subwoofers work with my Lansche 4.1 speaker like magic with clean and deep bass and enormous dynamics and wider deeper soundstage.

My listening room used to be tidy about 18 months ago

But now it is a mess with several isolation transformers and cable for Sr1a headphone.
Even with such mess, I enjoy the sound of my 2 channel system and Sr1a, Stax 009s headphones.
How about other audiophiles?

jtcf @robt22 the best sound quality I had at my previous house was when there were many moving boxes stacked behind my listening position.Small boxes and packing materials stuffed inside large boxes.They made excellent room treatments. >>>>Obviously that’s a case of low entropy compared to the case where boxes and packing materials are just strewn around, which would be a case of higher entropy. |
roberjerman I sit in the near field 6 - 8 feet from the speakers. So room condition doesn’t matter! >>>>>I hereby declare that statement patently false. 🤗 |
Feng shui is for audiophiles, too. Old newspapers, magazines, books, all types of media, from CDs to LPs to DVDs and many other things like pictures of birds of prey or combat fighters, lions, tigers and bears - they all hurt the sound. Think of the brain 🧠as a transceiver sensitive to many types of information. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, are you out of mind? A messy room is the sign of an organized mind. - old wives tale |
