But no matter how good the equipment and recording
techniques,
the program in recordings will be masked by room issues if
the
equipment is listened to in an untreated room. Guaranteed.

You're overstating the case. "Masked by" -- without
qualification -- implies
it isn't audible at all. Which is not true. It's rather that
the better the
setup (including treatment), the more one can hear what the
recording
"really" sounds like.


Perhaps overstated I agree, but my overstatement complements
the understatement that preceded it. My point is, too often
many people search for sonic reality in a very unbalanced way,
heavy on the equipment and light on acoustics. Had I met just
one person in the past who would have impressed the importance
of acoustics on me I would have spent a lot less money chasing
sonic nirvana purchasing equipment and more time enjoying the
equipment I already had for the last 30 years.

I want to be that voice crying in the wind for some people
chasing sonic nirvana here today. Perhaps even some of those
who are or will be mixing music I want to hear over and over
in the future.
