RE: Distortion, where is it coming from?

While I understand what you said what I'm talking about here is much more, uh, mysterious, what I'm referring to has nothing to do with things resonating or absorbing, nothing so mundane. What I am referring to is the effect of shapes and geometry on the listener, not on the audio signal or the acoustic waves. However, having got that off my chest, the albums are bad for the sound, though most audiophiles probably believe the albums are absorbing bad acoustic waves. The same problem with albums and CDs in terms of geometry is also the case for the room itself, you know, being square or rectangular, and I won't even get into the shape of the house itself and all the right angles. You can see how these shapes can produce information fields, no? Since there are SO MANY things in the WORLD that have that particular shape. Another way to look at it, all things being equal the same audio system would sound much better if it were inside a geodesic dome rather than an ordinary room of a house.
