Sam

[David A]

I don´t have any device to do measurements, and i don´t know if i want it.
Based on my ears and senses I never noticed the SAM´s influence, neither in this room nor in the room of my ex home, very different from this one.
Maybe i need to test it with a very different positioning of speakers, just to feel the influence, because, for me, they´re sounding fine.

The only thing I have to do measurements with is an iPhone app and I don't find it all that useful. I basically use my ears to tell me whether something makes a difference for me when I'm making changes, and also whether that difference is for better or worse, or whether it's a change that makes some things better and some other things worse and then I have to decide which affects my enjoyment most, the things it made better or the things it made worse.

Measurements can definitely provide useful info that can help you to make improvements, and if you've measured the right thing they can also tell you whether there is a difference or not. If the aim of the game is listening enjoyment, however, measurements are less important than whether the change puts a smile on your face or not.

Things are good while you're smiling, they're not good when you're not smiling.
