RE: Distortion, where is it coming from?

This is especially true for such man made things as squares and rectangles but also phrases and even words. Thus simply throwing out old newspapers and magazines in and of itself will usually improve the sound.

About 25 to 30 years ago I was in a Medical records storage room where there was several long row of shelving about 7' or 8' high filled with paper folders of patient’s medical records. Just going from memory each row was about 40' long. If a person stood at one end and another person stood at the other end of a same row even when speaking very loudly neither person could hear the person on the other end of the row. LOL, even hollering at the top of the voice could hardly be heard. All the cardboard and paper was absorbing up the sound waves.

When I see photos of members systems with a whole wall full of vinyl records I wonder how all the record jackets are affecting the sound from the speakers in the room.

Sorry if wandered too much from your post.
