Built a wall hung record shelf that holds about 400 records, hung on wall with a French cleat. Id have to build about 10 more to hold entire collection! Also made my own absorbtion/diffuser panels using cotton towels and decorative wooden wall panels with scroll pattern bought from Target. Yes, not very thick, but it can’t hurt in maybe cutting down some high frequency reflections. I Mainly use these on back wall to cover some of the drywall. For front and sides, I’ll most likely buy something from gik eventually. I also made my own 50 inch TV screen cover using a 100% black cotton bath rug with rope weaved in an out at top. This is hung from TV using several 3M removable clips stuck to back side/top of TV.
Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make?
After some self assessment and introspection on my own high fidelity habits I discovered that I build or make things for my stereo/audio room. Some examples of these things are;
1 Tore out carpeting/padding/floor tiles in the addition to my house (audio room) and painted the cement floor with epoxy paint and clear coat. Placed out a Turkish area rug.
2 Made cherry wood speaker stands on wheels.
3 Had made custom speaker covers and stereo stand covers for when I am not listening to audio to keep away dust. Thanks to my seamstress....
4 Custom made Paduak wood cover (with legs) with two low speed exhaust fans for my tube amp
So curiosity got the best of me. Have you made anything for you stereo system or room? If so what did you make and why?
