Each action taken in one of the 4 embeddings are irreplaceable by another action in one or even by 3 different actions in all of the three other remaining embeddings...
For example the positive effects of a better control of the vibrations-resonance cannot be replaced by a better cleaning of the electrical grid of the house, or by a passive acoustical modification by changing some materials on the walls of my room, or in a more active way by introducing some Helmholtz resonator, or my "singing" resonator, or some Schumann generator...If you dont control the mechanical vibrations you will not be able to compensate that by acoustical modification of the space, passive or active one,or by some tweaks in the electrical grid...
Each modifications in each of the embeddings generate some specific effets that the other modifications cannot replace....
An audio system is a complex web of intrications between acoustical space, mechanical and electro-magnetic interaction...So complex that when you think about it and the way audio system are sold in any commercial office, that boggle the mind to think how incomplete is the information necessary to create a real hi-fi experience.... It is easy also to create the illusory belief that paying much money to go upgrading some gear from one rung of the scale going toward the higher one will give you real Hi-Fi... At best it is an half truth....
We cannot remedy the problems of the acoustical space of a room with a better dac, or a better amplifier, or a better speakers system... Same thing is true for the electrical grid....Upgrading an amplifier will not improve the electrical noise floor of the house....
If we remind ourself that the % of the S. Q. is for more than half of it dependent of these embeddings, not only of the electronic components, we begins to understand many false assumption about audio....
I say all that because this evening, changing slightly the orientation of some of my resonators gives me a better dynamic and a better image in the room....Slight change= Big improvement, sometimes....
Most of the times we need a new piece of gear like a fish need a bicycle....
I think Groucho Marx never said that.... :)
