1.        Room characteristics such as size and shape;
Acoustic treatment of the room;
Specific places in the room where you locate the equipment and the listener;
(these are responsible for about half of the final sound results);

2.        Electrical Installation;
(responsible for about one third of the final results);

3.        Equipment (everything, including cables);

4.        System Grounding;

5.        Equipment Vibration;
