About the importance of the room vs the electronics

Acoustics and Critical Listening.

As @ erik_squires and others have often mentioned ;  the room is often forgotten  . We  put too much amphasis
on electronics.

The first "logical" intuition so to speak is : this map is not the reality...

The last " logical" intution is : but the reality is not another map either..

Anyway the reality and the map interact and it is more akin to "sex" than to logic...

Translation for some:

The electronic equalizer is not the room and even not a true representation of the room..

My mechanical equalizer did not reflect only an arbitrary  "taste" like your prefered settings choices because he fill also the room itself and modify it , it is a map which is also at the same time part of the real territory, my specific EARS included...


At the end the only important thing, is it not how do we use our "faulty" ears?

@ebm
Your room is not .....what ?

Racks , Pucks, Cones , Granit slabs under speakers, cables holders,
Synergistic Black Box , HFT , the coming Vibratron .They do make a difference. Are they ´´ Room treatment ´´ . They are not ´´ Electronics ´´ . Often called ´´Tweaks ´´ Are they in a particular
category ?

There exist 3 working  embedding dimensions controls for any audio system:

Mechanical: all that pertain to vibrations and resonance control....

Electrical and acoustical are the 2 others...

I hate the word "tweaks" because it suggest "snake oils" to half people here because of their cost relatively to the gear and "tweaks" are considered like secondary addition ONLY to the SUPPOSEDLY main source of S.Q. in audio experience: electronic design and gear...

This is not all the truth...

Only an half truth....

The main source of S.Q. is not the upgrading process nor the purchase of a miraculous tweak...

It is the controls achieved in the 3 working embeddings dimension of any audio system...

Unbeknownst to most, Acoustic control is at the end the main key between these very important other 2 keys....

This is my only important discovery in audio....
This has gone far enough. Long past time someone aired the truth. The main source of sound quality is the air. No air, no sound. That simple.
