"I Trust My Ears"

First, i can enjoy any concert in any place with good or bad acoustics, i dont bother with sound if i goes to hear an artist...

Second the goal if we want to create a system/room  well optimized acouistically, mechanically and electrically is not reproducing a live event ...

This is impossible  even  if your budget is way over my 1000 bucks system...

Third is you are like i am interested to do the most with the system you have, you must train you hearing, why ? to understand room acoustics...Is it a mystery impossible to understand? there is no other way...

And "We must train our hearing by tuning our brain with thinking concepts and setting experiments in a system/room with different musical styles",   "Tastes must be educated.",  " We need acoustics concepts to understand audio",  "Crocodiles had tastes and we cannot convince them their tastes are bad habits...A part of our brain is a crocodile..." and on and on.  @mahgister  I would be so depressed if I had to go through all that to enjoy a concert.  In all of that, I have never heard any system reproduce any live music event I've been to.

But do your speakers spit at you when you play a Dead Kennedys album? Cuz if they don't, then it ain't live.

I always retain equipment so I can do A>B>A compare, and I may have to repeat this numerous times. These days seem to be retaining amps since I can't find fault with any of them, I rotate for the varied presentations. Sometimes its not the obvious things like resolution/transparency that offer the greatest contrast. 

Do you A>B>A compare to the original music? What did you find?

I compared Qobuz, YT, and my system like below. Alex/WTA
