No, I don't believe so. Room tuning can be simpe (adding a stuffed chair, or curtains over windows, placement of certain decor attributes), or very intense and expensive.

The turntable is definitely an area he should spend money on, especially if he listens and owns a great deal of vinyl. The source is an area that should not be an afterthought.

If his main media is vinyl, look there first. If CD, then it should take precedent. We will leave the arguement of which is better for another day ;)
