Absolutely. And I totally agree that actually building a listening room
can be prohibitively expensive. Improvements are easily made with small
adjustments. Too many people find some formula to use, set their
listening room up and never listen to the results. I've had epiphanies
from moving the speakers a few inches.
Hey..I had an epiphany that cost me five cents. A 2.0 mil Truncated Elliptical stylus from Expert that I got a couple of years ago had never given me joy..loose fit, too much chatter, variable results, but as a last resort I tried it this week on a difficult disc, and added a five cent piece to the tone arm (the Stanton styli won't take that much extra weight). It played gorgeously. I ended up re-doing two projects this weekend because of the improvement.
