''Are you suggesting that just running a computer in the listening room would affect sound quality, even if the computer is not connected to the audio system and even if the computer's acoustic noise is inaudible when the music is silent?''
Consider this. A fan/hdd system playing quiet music at say 30 dB flat emits 30 dB (may not be audible). The two streams add in the listen room and intermodulates. What is the result?
'A music signal which is not a reproduction of the orginal, but some aspects of it' - in amplitude and phase.
This is just a simplistic description of what is basically quite a complex situation in a real system, which should not be ignored with the simple statement that 'I can't hear it'. What is heard is actually the result of adding two strteams or more.
