Removing components from between the speakers


I've read many of the previous threads on this question - longer IC's vs. longer speaker cables - but what I'm writing about is what I read in Jim Smith's book "Get Better Sound" about removing ALL components and racks between the speakers and setting everything up side-stage, so to speak.

Has anyone done this? If I do, it'll necessitate longer speaker cables and a longer set of IC's from the tt to the amp.

Brownsfan is spot on.
Your brain controls what you hear and uses all your senses to decide what that is. Uses memory to a great extent as well which makes hearing live acoustic unamplified music critical as well.

I first got a clue when it dawned on me than when my house was cluttered and messy so was my thought process.
The brain research done in the last decade is a miracle of science.
Not really, most human serious acts are rationlizations of sub-conscious impulses.
The brain controls what you hear. The problem is that you don't actually control your brain. Case closed.
