Hi,
i been reading most sites and the little arguments about this and that about making audio in this case be more pleasent ot better to any individual. and have to say upfront that if "you" believe its better to you than it is in fact true to you and you only. we are just reletive respondants to each other and therefore nature and the universe.
many of the subjects that come up as to improving ones audio system tend to go into little details that may or may not have "real" affects on most of us. and also be provable with phsics,math,medical studies etc.many musicians and many humans can distinguish alot of these aspects. and they are ALL quantifiable and measureable very easilly. from 1800 till today FFT and resonance,sound perfiliration has been well adjustable from the totally acoustic pipe organs to the music halls 100s of years ago with out electronic fixes, and all these new snake oil gagets on the market. many are always big commenters here on this site.
Its totally true you can "fix" and sound wave with free rocks,walls,chambers, etc. so go for it at a cost of zero dollars. and adbandon all these marketing hacks.
Ive been well into sound,RF,Radioation, Electron manulipation, Audio,phsics etc all my life and all my relatives aslso . I dont need to justify my opinions yet am dignified by holding 8 international patents,2 doctrets and my dad with similar fields.
one crazy obvious thing no one even bothers to mention is the way off standard of 440hz shifted 8hz the earths standard resonance. while all the 1000s of years 432hz was based on real natural happenings before electronics. dont you all care everything you listen to is 8hz off tune and therefore wrong, but you will bicker about a few microvolts noise from an ocslittating wire with parallell wire  hanging off a standoff. itf too funny to me.
yes all digital except one source tunes their DAC math to 435hz to be more correct to Verdi and other great composers.
ive got tuning forks over the audio and above spectrum and tune my panios violins etc to them 432 hz
and need to say again. yes please do everything Analoge
to correct your sound system, its been done in churches,music halls,the great pyrmids, with instruments themselves.
but do not chase the rabbit down the money hole to fix apparent physhoacoustics in your listening area.

ps the spelling and writing is horrid cause ive got a brain injury2 years ago and under go EEG,ehthesographs and neuro studies constantly. where various frequency sweeps are put thru me and studied by the medical and commercial fields.
Im off for now to play my bass thru 50000watts total. and resonate the neighborhood at 8.2 HZ....

I understand less than 1/4 of the science here,
Have a couple of observations:
Steve Deckert of Decware has a paper on this topic-go to the website, go to papers-I think it's called: "What is sound?"
In a music store a couple of months ago ,I saw a guitar tuner, I think the brand was "Snarky" the hook was "Tune to where you want it"-not standard tuning-if nobody cared about this stuff, who would buy one?
I know some of you are musicians.
I don't know about anyone else, but I would pay $10-15 to purchase CD or cassette tape recorded at 432 & 440 to see if I hear the difference.
Unfortunately, that still won't address the more metaphysical/spiritual question of if we were instructed to "make a joyful noise", does 8 Hz sharp make it other than joyful?

Please clarify. If not all electromagnetic waves are not photons, what else are they comprised of? Because from my understanding, sound waves are mechanical waves, not electromagnetic, and all electromagnetic waves are comprised of photons. If x rays and gamma rays are not comprised of photons, what are they?

whilst these posts are great for debating and sneeking in sales pitches. the ops (me) point was....
so many people are way to burried in details that on paper will make a calculatable difference yet show no stasticial signifient "human" influence to the change.   there have a few great comments relevant to this. its not metaphysical  or magic. yet most of the beliefs are in fact more the brains adjustment to its enviroment .
but the point is there Huge differences in the present music systems that are not even looked at seriously that make what you hear as wrong compared to the original live signals produced..
and please we need some true musicians to get in on it. but they probably wint cause the "electronics" reproduced sounds are sooo bad no matter what gimic is used.

when I run my guitars,violin,piano thru any of my studio quality stuff
nothing makes it as good as straight from the acoustic instrument in a proper room. there will always be phase shift, or something added.

I can't hear myself playing from the listening position unless it is amplified :-)

I get where you are coming from.....I think.  These "changes" mainly enable mental gymnastics.  Unless you have heard that exact performance in that exact room, you have no idea what it really is supposed to sound like, and even then, you will forget quickly.

So what do you suggest to get us closer to the live performance?
