In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated
Ironically perhaps is the rather odd factoid that high end systems at the shows such as CES rarely used room treatments. Of course there are a lot of reasons why the exhibitors wouldn’t use room treatments such as they don’t wish to detract from t...

Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner
One wonders, would it be of any value to place soothing messages on the water container since water so treated produces more beautiful crystals than water that is untreated or treated with alarming or disturbing messages? http://youtu.be/tAvzsjcBtx8 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Of course the real point is that EMI is not magnetic field. Which is what my original post was addressing. I.e., that shielding is effective for RFI/EMI but not for either external magnetic fields such as those produced by transformers or induced ...

Balanced can reduce what?  And how?  I'm very curious to know. 
No bass with new turntable?
It's also possible to have an out of phase condition somewhere else down the line.  It's even possible some new component reverses polarity, who knows? 
Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars?
Historically vinyl gets high marks, but no format is completely exempt from overly agressive dynamic range compression. Not vinyl, not SACD, not Japanese SHM CDs, not even hi res downloads.
