Location of compoments.

He notes that, if possible, do not locate your audio rack between the speakers, better off to one side. 

And if your components are not in a rack, if one doesn't own a "rack", then what? 

Above all on the list to getting better sound is to have a ladder next to your head 

@bdp24 Must have been cool. I didn't see the Who until much later on, 1982 It's Hard tour. Before the concert in Vancouver in rehearsal Pete decided to swing his arm around the guitar and the whammy bar went right through the middle of his hand. Doctors said there could not have been a better spot for the impalement- no severe damage. 

Don't know which guitar this was. 

@macg19

I stand corrected, yes it was ’89. I assumed it was the It’s hard tour, and looked up the album which came out in ’82.

According to this he did it on stage at that Tacoma show, I just remember his hand being bandaged up in Vancouver. And it was a Strat.

Sounds like a jungle. 

I find it hard to determine the non-obvious soundstage cues looking at anything- I can only do determine soundstage fine details, especially depth, with my eyes closed. Many times I hears the drums etc. are coming directly from the speaker, but after closing my eyes, and shaking the head to remove the memory of the speaker position, then focusing on the sound it turns the image is several inches left and a few feet back of the speaker, after opening my eyes to confirm. 

And speaking of lights, one of worst things someone can do is have a dimmer switch in the same circuit as the system. 

I confess I have a dimmer switch in my audio room, but the system is on its own circuit. The dimmer still throws noise into the AC, I know this, as well as all the other dimmer switches in the house, but haven't done anything about it yet. If it is off no noise will be produced, and I have gone back and forth listening with it on and off and if there is a difference it is small- much smaller than changing ethernet or digital cables. (Or having a 3 foot rack between but a few feet back of the plane the speakers.) At least the bulbs are old-school incandescents and not LED.
