Dialing everything in right is time-consuming but worth the effort. Worked the better part of one year with speaker placement and room treatment. The final phase was fine-tuning with speaker cable and interconnect combos. When I started listening to the music instead of the equipment I knew that I was done.
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
So many audiophiles have commented that when your room treatment is completed, your electronics set up and tweaked and most importantly, your speakers are set up in your listening space correctly that you'll know it because everything just sounds so "right" and natural. I just accomplished that feat in the last two weeks. I say two weeks because I needed to play a wide variety of recordings to be sure that I'm there. It is so great to have finally hit just the right set up.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that it has taken me well over a year of experimentation to get to this point. It's not that other placements yielded poor quality sound its just that now everything sounds like a live event (as much as any of our systems can).
I would really appreciate hearing about your journey to the promised land of audiophile/music lover bliss. How long did it take, what were the most difficult aspects of the journey? And if you have yet to get there, what do you think is the "brick in your wall"?
