Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
@ghasley I am sorry that you found my comment Snarky or... But YOU brought up the devices Boomboxes and earplugs, which didn't even exist till the turn of the century. And except for the dollar two ninety-five wired earphones given away with Japan... 
Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
@ghasley You seem to be assuming that the sound techniques I was talking about were from CHILDREN that listened to Boomboxes and earbuds. No I was talking about the Mid 1900s You know before you most likely were born.  
Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
@Kota1 To start wiht, If you haven’t seen my responses before, I have been designing speakers since about 1975, so I have a definite advantage that many don’t have. BUT, that doesn’t meant that people can’t take clues from what I discuss and impro... 
Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
Flat+ faithful reproduction of what the Sound Eng. and studio meant you to hear. I want to hear a trumpet or a pianie sound like they are live. Anything else is a muddied up mess that we have become used to over the years. I get up around live mus... 
Software for Room Correction?
This only goes to show you how some companies like to tighten the screws into your back when yo think you are buying all of their product. My brand new NAD came with the MIC. Though it is the same mic that they provided with my old T748 it is prob...

Grounding Question
Thank You @erik_squires! Finally, someone with a little snippet of Electronics Knowledge. You just brought up one of my Pet Peeves. Just about every one of the Commerciale Power dist. box manufacturers will try to convince you that they can carry ... 
To pricey
I was recently visiting a prominent High end shop in Denver looking a a Macintosh receiver and the sales person decided that the B&W 600 or 700 series bookshelf speakers would (SOMEHOW) equate to what I described my towers to be, in an auditio...

How much is about the recording
I'd like to take it one step further or at lest clarify the issue. I can easily tell a BAD recording from a great recording, but there are also those whose mastering is terrible as opposed to excellent mastering. I have seen it so clearly that eve... 
How much is about the recording
@ russ69 Could you make a slightly more arbitrary meaningless statement" i.e. WHICH, Diana Krall version of "Garden in the Rain" I have found 6 versions in 30 second of looking? I stil haven’t found one cut being use d in multiple collection. An... 
Dedicated room suggestions
I enjoyed a number of great comments and responses here. I can only add something I saw on Amazon (yuk) of all places. Acoustic curtains. They were VERY inexpensive and SAID to have many good sound enhancing qualities. As an apartment dweller I mi... 
Upgrading power system
I would have preferred better wording and checking some of your details. 'It weighted twice as much' Are you saying it is maid of lead or...? It is 20 AMP. NO it is rated for a 20 amp circuit but it can not provide any more amperage than the circu... 
A Question About Time Alignment
I am glad I am a speaker designer and Not a Physicist like some here. Sound is altered not only by distance. Especially when yo consider that the speed of sound is relatively SLOW. Sound is altered and affected by Temperature, Humidity, Barometric...
