Re: Does set-up and/or tweaking make a difference?

"If one of my reviewers kept his place in this kind of state, he'd not write for me in the first place or get asked to resign. I'd view such a state of affairs as underming our collective credibility, plus it'd send a very unprofessional message about how we do things. But - that's purely personal preference. This reviewer might well be far more experienced and accurate in his assessments than any on my staff, myself included. It's impossible to tell from a photo."

Isn't that kind of harsh?? Are appearances that important?? I thought this was an aural hobby not a visual one. Isn't more important how it all sounds aside from the esthetic's??

It just seems contrary to this

"That said, amazing work and discoveries have been made in very modest environments which some would call messy and sub-par. Many musicians play on cracked instruments. They wouldn't trade 'em for new ones because they've learned how to compensate - plus that instrument has become part of their signature style and sound."
