For those who miss Geoff

Yes a good smacking is in order. Agree with others in that he looks exactly as expected. 

                                                  WHO?

He was a contrarian .....don't miss him in the least and we are better for that here on Audiogon.  

I use four Room Tunes.  Two in corners and two to attenuate sidewall reflections.  They have to be thirty years old.

Still use them in my listening room, no complaints ...

What we didn’t know, but have since learned. Oh well, he certainly wasn’t afraid to try stuff. Since you’ve been there and done that, did you get the t-shirt?

@mitch2: Michael Green’s Room Tune was just a piece of foil-backed fiberglass insulation inside a cloth-covered frame. I imagine at his retail prices he made a fair chunk o’change back in the 90’s. I still have a pair, and some Corner Tunes. Those two models are legitimate (though not very high-tech or sophisticated), but his Corner Tune was purported to be a bass trap, which it most certainly was not. It too was just a piece of the same insulation, the round shape of the Corner Tune "enclosure" employed simply to create the impression that it’s design was akin to the ASC Tube Trap, which IS a real bass trap.

In his room at the CES in Vegas in the late-90’s, Green had his tuneable loudspeakers spaced waaaaay far apart (and placed diagonally in the room, iirc, and quite away from all the room walls), with Room Tunes placed around them. I was surprised how good the imaging was with that speaker arrangement. But I have long felt many set-ups have the speakers too close to one another. And often too close to the wall behind them. Our damned small listening rooms!

@jerrybj , actually, I rather liked George.  Although he was too opinionated and loved to argue, I learned a lot of technical aspects of audio from him.  As far as Geoff, I always wished I could have smacked him😂

In the event that you are monitoring this thread - this one's for you...

Mitch2's pic is of Green.

Powell interviews Kait screen to screen (fast forward).

@mitch2 ,

Who is that?

At least he wasn't wearing a trench coat:)

I too first heard about spring supports from Geoff, and then looked into the products by manufacturers like Credo and Townshend, and finally made my own damped spring supports.  Of course, his ideal stereo rig was a Sony Walkman.

Speaking of missing folks who were "way ahead of most everyone else"...

Good point @noromance. I'd love to see that spring isolation rack Geoff made. He was way ahead of most everyone else.

If I missed Geoff, then I'd have to start missing George...

Yeah, just like I pictured him. That's not a compliment.

They were the days when every forth post was a @geoffkait snark. I'll give him this though: he turned me on to springs under components while most folks were using spikes.

"All joking aside that is Geoff in the video" You are correct, I didn't watch enough of the video to see when Geoff joined the conversation.

Well, if he took it to Area51, who knows what galaxy it’s in now.

Strange... always pegged Bob Lazar as more of a Flowbee guy...

Carpathian:

Rumor is that he gave yours to BoB Lazar.

Also the guy who started this one...poof!

Speaking of Geoff, no sooner did his name come up and…man down, we lost the first thread of 2025, just sayin’.

@dekay ,

You gave him one too?!

I bet that s.o.b. regifted mine...

@stereo5 ,

Well, he could be really abrasive...

All joking aside that is Geoff in the video (glad to see he's using the "Conair Big Curls Kit" I gave him for his birthday).

Regarding “For those who miss Geoff”, sorry I don’t.  I quit Audio Asylum because of him. 

"think Geoff is over 80 years old."

Geoff is so old he didn’t have a paper route, he had a papyrus route!😀

I know...sorry.

That's a past Geoff, when he went by Geoff Henning. He teleported himself to the future then changed his name. Either way, "It's all an illusion..."

Dill:

I pulled a pic of Geoff off the Future-Internet and now I'm confused.

Apparently I pictured him looking like someone else..!

LOL, thanks for the post I would have never seen it other wise.

He looks exactly as I pictured him...

I tried watching it, but as Geoff wasn't wearing his signature English Leather I quickly lost interest.
