I found Roxul Safe 'n' Sound in stock at Home Depot for around fifty bucks a bag, I believe it was. A bag contains twelve 3" thick X 16" wide X 48" long pieces. Owens Corning 703, the stuff everybody (GIK, ATS) puts in their absorbers, is a special order only, and while the price is pretty cheap, there is a minimum order (3 or 4 boxes iirc), which is over $200. If you order OC online, the cost to ship is about as much as the 703 itself. May as well the spend the extra money on the multiple boxes, maybe splitting an order with a fellow audiophile.
Roxul Rockwool or Owens Corning Thermafiber
I have dived into the world of room treatments again and going to build my own. Starting with some high-freq panels. In the past, I used Rockwool for bass traps but I'm having a really hard time finding it now.
I see that Owens Corning came out with a new product called Thermafiber and it sure looks like it has many of the same sound absorbing properties as the Rockwool.
I cannot find a direct comparison. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this stuff?
