Of course we don’t know what we don’t know and we never know what we are missing until we hear it.
I do not think many here dispute the fact that room acoustics play a huge part in our journey.
I do know that a fair number are also in the situation where due to location of the music system that alterations to said room just is not going to happen unless they like sleeping outside afterwards!
>>>>>I feel it’s only fair to point out that Michael Green’s methodology of Tuning, and I say this after discussing it with him at some length, you know, like every day for two years, which might actually be some kind of record, involves more than room acoustics. Much more.
For example, some of his ideas I use myself, either by coincidence or because I thought it was a very good idea, include isolating the transformer from the chassis, MG goes so far as to remove the transformer and place it somewhere else, removing the cover of my former Oppo 103, suggested also by Ric Schultz of EVS, and using the low mass concept for the system. My particular system, not counting isolation stand that comes in at around 60 pounds, a hot rod Walkman CD Player, weighs all of 10 ounces, not counting headphones and cable that add another pound, mostly due to carbon fiber sleeves on headphone cable. In fact I don’t even address room acoustics, a big advantage of going to headphones. Plus There’s a huge sonic benefit to going off the grid as one might imagine.
