Often we don't know what we don't know. Yes it's a cliche but that's because there's much truth in that statement. In my 30+ years as a self-defined audiophile and committed recorded music listener, my listening awareness has grown by listening to and hearing things that I didn't know existed or were possible. I've had many systems and listened critically to many different components and tweaks, controlling for other changes in those listening sessions. As I gained more listening experience, my preferences often changed as well. I enjoy knowing the theory behind a design, but I rely on my ears to tell me if it works for me.
About 30 years ago I purchased a set of Michael Green Audio RoomTunes corner tunes. They are the only piece of audio gear that I have held on to until the present and still use. From that purchase I experienced first hand the importance of room acoustics to the sound of my system, and learned that I had the ability to tune the sound of my room if I desired (which I did). I have engaged in the MGA forum and learned and tried recommended cost-free tweaks that had substantial valuable effects in my systems. I've used other RoomTune products as well with great success. Michael's overall approach is to have each part of the audio reproduction process from the source to the room be tunable if possible, just like the musical instruments that produce music. This certainly makes sense to me logically and intuitively, and has been shown effective many times over in my systems throughout my experience as an audiophile. Also, folks on that forum actually discuss and show what they did and how it works for them in their individual systems and if you want to you can get input on your system there too from Michael and other members.
