Mrderrick's advice sounds good to me. I'd just add that if you can manage a dedicated line, and--just as important--a dedicated ground, this will also help a lot. Standing waves are tougher to deal with, but slap or flutter echo is easier. Parallel wall surfaces, both untreated, are the villains. The solution: treat one of them. F. Alton Everest's "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget", IMHO, should be a bible for every serious audiophile, so let me recommend it to you as well. It goes into all this stuff.
Low level detail's
I am begining to come to the conclusion that the retrieval of low level details is extremely important to musical happiness. If this is the case then that would perhaps explain why extremely efficient speakers and great amps can sound magical at times. One would also think that cd's would be an excellent media for this but somethings wrong here. They just don't seem to have it. Anybody know why not?
Some cd's do sound excellent but compared to master tapes or excellent vinyl they seem to come up lacking. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Would like to be educated.
Thanks
