How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!

”When in doubt do nothing". Somebody important once said that but I don’t remember who. Also Albert Einstein said " the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result".

>>>>Exactly!! That’s why you should do something different this time. Stop listening to the same voices that got you to your present status.

If the rule you followed brought you to this place then what good was your rule?

Go pound sand. I actually don’t care what you think.

Lots of laughs. Doing nothing is the Government’s fall-back Plan. And the thing they often do. Let me guess. You work for the Government.

I can definitively answer the question. I simply choose not to. You obviously do not know the answer. Really.

I don’t sell to members here. Don’t flatten yourself.

Open to suggestions for sure. Thx.

>>>>I see. You did the experiment, you just don’t remember the results.

Here is what I see, I asked you a simple question, and you haven’t provided an answer....so you are being disingenuous, evasive, or have no clue what the change in your "experiment" produced and why.

Frankly this reminds me of the little dance you do around the theme, " what is an audio signal"... and the longer these dances go on the more I’m inclined to think the answers are behind door #3....please provide some answers and prove me wrong ...please disincline me...

>>>>There’s no reason to get huffy with me. You claimed you did the experiment decades ago, as if YOU know what’s going on. You are actually the one being disingenuous. What do you mean you did the experiment? What experiment? Why did you do the experiment. What did you conclude? That’s the place to start. I’m pretty sure you don’t even know what I’m talking about, no offense to you personally.

As for my question, what is the audio signal?, it’s not a little dance I do 🕺🏻- it’s a serious and legitimate question. And a question that you apparently cannot answer.

What was the original question? I have long term memory loss. 😬

Re resonators, Helmholtz resonators have to be of the correct size and dimension and in the correct location, otherwise they hurt the sound. Same with crystals, tiny bowl resonators, Mpingo disc, anything that resonates must be in the right location and be the right frequency to improve the sound. Empty beer bottles on the floor HURT the sound, not improve it. In the case of CD jewel boxes they are not the right frequency and there Hundreds of them. Hel-loo! Do the experiment, take them all out of the room. Report your findings.

That’s OK. When the early settlers traveled west by covered wagon a lot of them decided to settle in the Mid West rather than hazard the trip further West. I totally understand. 😛

Speaking of furniture, a relatively inexpensive way to boost system performance is to support all heavy furniture in the room on cones. Make it your New Year’s resolution. Do it today! Yes, I know what you’re thinking: Are you out of mind?

Somebody is having a Machina Dynamica moment.

Base Camp may be the highest I ever need to get to.

>>>>I know you can do it. As Bob Dylan says at the end of all his records, good luck to you!

Oh, geez, people will believe anything. CD jewel boxes, for example, are actually *resonators* and not in a good way. Look, the sound will be much improved taking all the things I listed out of the room, no matter what argument you can come up with that it won’t. If you haven’t done the experiment you really don’t know. 😬

Without wishing to be overly dramatic or mysterious one of the very best things you can do sound wise is take all the CD, DVDs, LPs and books/magazines out of the room. No, they do not act as diffusers.

Who would want the live event? The live event in most cases sucks. A good home system is better. It’s one of those old wives things.

First climber: WOW! What a view! Being at the top of Everest ⛰ makes me feel like I’m King of the World! 

Second climber: Hey, get a hold of yourself! We’re only at Base Camp ⛺️

Gee, whiz, we thought you were cool. 

What do you think, junior?

There’s a lot of unmapped territory out there regarding RFI/EMI and how to deal with it. It’s like Chicken-man. He’s everywhere! He’s everywhere! 🐔 🐔 🐔 It’s generated by electronics, room purifiers and other appliances, Coming through the house AC, not to mention all the TV, radio and cellphone transmission coming right on through the windows! Hel-loo!
