RE: System visual symmetry




This is the current configuration of my system.

Previously the preamp and CD/DAC were on the on the sidewall near my listening chair.
I decided to change to fiber for the 28' run from the side location where the NAS and streaming equipment is still located.
I have always been opposed to have anything more than my amps between the speakers. I think mainly to not have it cluttered looking. Personal preference, nothing more. Now that it's done I really don't mind it.
Though I do have to walk 10 extra feet if I want to put in a CD. :-)

I did this mainly because of the lower quality of the interconnects I made for that distance.
We all know what the quality of a good 28' interconnect would be even if I did DIY as the others I currently use.

28' of single mode Corning fiber was under $10. That was a no brainer. The sound had more improvement than I expected. Quieter and better imaging.

To answer your question I am obsessed about things being balanced. Spacing things equally is again for me a personal thing.

For subs and speakers I believe spacing is important from personal experience.
