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....

There are many ways to tune a system. And they have been mentioned and perhaps even discussed many times before. Tiny little bowl resonators, Mpingo discs, suspending or elevating cables, tube traps and Helmholtz resonators, Schumann resonance generators, crystals, vibration isolation and resonance control, acoustic diffusers and absorbers. Folks, it’s not really rocket science. 🚀 No, speakers are not (rpt not) like musical instruments. You can tune an audio system, you can tune a car but you can’t tuna fish 🐟. Some audiophile tuning devices and tweaks weigh almost as little as a human soul, which has been estimated to weigh about a microgram. Hey, guys! Let’s start a new thread, “How small and insignificant looking or sounding can something be and still influence the sound?”
atdavid"pull up your pants. No one wants to see that"
You sound hurt and disturbed, very, very disturbed.
But Geoff you cannot tune for yourself the violin of the violinist that plays some tune on your system...It is my point...I am interested in this social convention of tuning the fork and his effect on us listening to that in our perfectly tuned, otherwise, very refined tweaked audio system, and like you already know it is the point that the OP wanted to discuss...( mine audio system is tuned tough and yours also I think)… :)
One thing I know for sure, it is better to listen to some musical sound than takes a pill...:)

I am curious about the OP experience with sound....


Sometimes ago I listen only music or sound that suit my conscious taste...But for about a year now I observe exposing myself to certain sound ( perhaps better say frequencies) had certain negative or positive effect, or reinforcing effect...It is feed back and placebo also, but more than that, there is really an objective side effect to the effect of sound from the cellular to the conscious level...I am not a scientist, but I have my experience...And there is much out there for those who want to read...

For sure these experiments with sound healing are more convincing and easy to make for someone that is already in pain, hurted, or very sensible ( I am), otherwise collective blind test with corticoid production measurement protocols for example are mandatory for the research...

For example when you are not only in physical pain, but in an acute spiritual or psychological pain, nevermind the names, you dont feel light and you dont enjoy your normal musical listening at all...You are not able to play anymore...

Then at these times I try some music, designed to heal, there are many that suit particular needs and spiritual moods... With success...

An example of some music I enjoy for my own therapeutic use... This will not suit everybody, it is just an example of some kind of music I dont listen to in normal times of my life, but I cannot listen to much to it when I need it :

This music for example calm my soul...


And remind yourself that there is a difference between relaxing music only and music with therapeutic effect first... The frontier is not clear cut for sure, but when you are in pain, you feel the difference in your bones...

For relaxation only I listen to natural sounds, wind chimes, or very simple piano melody...


Most of the days I am strong and in health, it seems so to me and others tough :) and I listen to Shostakovitch piano preludes, Scriabin or some Sun Ra free jazz marvels or Bach or Persian or Indian favorites.... All music i cannot even touch when i am in pain....But these happy days are more numerous because I am lucky in life thanks God...


My best to all


I cannot resist to say these words that had no relation to my post :)

God exist thanks to the music of Bach that prove it; and man can be a god also, a lesser one for sure, but a god tough, thanks to the Scriabin music that proves the fact...( choose a Sofronitsky interpretation for the Scriabin proof)
