Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it!

As would I. 

But it’s not tobacco. I prefer Super Beets. 

@tablejockey and @asctim I know that, the post was a jab at the measurements guy's sorry. 

YW. 

I have always been a firm believer that everything in the chain counts, and contributes,  the key is finding the right components. One should take deliberate care and do their due diligence but inevitably one may take a step backward. Data like this can help in the decision process and it is only one part of the equation.

Yes acoustics are a huge part and some of us have well treated rooms and others just throw a blanket over a tv or window and call it treated.  Some do nothing and use REW software and think they are good.

But combine all of these elements and it could be audio nirvana.

Don't blindly dismiss something as Snake Oil if you have never tried it. Yes the bottom line is how the system makes you feel and your interpretation of the pressure waves being sent to your ears. Music is emotional and so is this passion we have for audio and the equipment we place in the chain.
