In Reply to: I must be missing your point... posted by Jim Austin on January 19, 2007 at 13:32:15:
I'm having a bit of fun with the term "room treatment", i.e. just common furnishings... the things that the vast majority of audiophile get by with!; including JA it seems. The other aspect is the idea that rooms can be, or require, improvement is often overstated... i.e., if it ain't broken...Read Mike Fremer's review on the Tara Labs Zero cables to understand the meaning of improvements via cables. In particular his comments about the Zero's yielding a reduction in "Electronicia", if that was the coinage he used, but basically a reduction in that sense of "electronic" sound is something that is not unique to the Zeros.
In fact for someone moving from a very poor (manufacturer throw-in) interconnect to, say, a good quality Cardas he/she might experience an improvement on the same scale (or perhaps to an even greater degree!) than Fremer did going from his already very good cables to the Zeros; assuming a decent system of course. Think of a cable as something that, subjectively speaking, adds "nasties" to the signal, adds "zing" to sibilance. Better cables add less, do less damage, sound smoother, more natural, more like "no cable". In a overly "live" room any reduction in "nasties" from the cables will be especially appreciated.
Bear in mind that some like the sound that a live room gives, yet that doesn't meant that like electronic nasties!
