Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
I thought you were going to say the cat peed on the salamander rack. cat pee has got to be the foulest of all stenches, if not a cat turd.   @shtinkydog  ,  after I got laid off in '05 I went to nursing school and finished off my working-man c...

No one ever accused Dylan of being able to sin That is not true.  What is true is that Bob Dylan is not for everybody and many have found found him to be a taste that it took time to aquire; however, a large percentage of the people who make th... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
Treatments consist of corner base traps extending up to the ceiling, a couple absorption panels throughout the room, a 20 x 20 thick wool rug and an assortment of furniture. ??????????????????    
Is positive reinforcement why things are sounding better?

I dont agree. Without a decent room you cant discern, effectively, what differentiates good from not so good. Of course you can.  For example: in a bad room you have one amp hooked up and the soundstage is confined to an area around the speaker...

@arizonabob some people have lost mega system's worth of money on their Truth Social "investment".  It's a sensitive subject. That's hilarious.
