Not necessarily. Room optimization is a very time consuming process, which is all debited to my "remaining hours I can listen to music" account. The net present value of these hours is also very high because it is an upfront investment. It makes sense to do the least time consuming (i.e. buy cables) stuff first, and wait with the time consuming stuff until I have more time (i.e. in retirement or unemployment, whichever comes first).
well I must be using the wrong cables because I've not found any that changes my soundstage but then again I've never bought a PC for that reason. I do agree about room treatments. It gives the biggest ROI and you seem to be the accountant who is compartmentalizing your priorities would understand ROI.
