@dentdog. Nice to hear your experience. Would you say how you used BPT unit? Digital? Your experience should educate many of the doubters here.. if they’re hearing/ listening. :)
Vibration isolation an issue in a concrete basement
Do I need vibration isolation if the room is seriously stable? If so what would I try? My listening environment is a nicely finished basement that is 22 X 26 X 8. Concrete floors and 3 of the walls are concrete. There is a mix if gypsum ceiling and suspension ceiling with heavy acoustic tiles. Insulated 2x4 wall construction with gypsum board and thick carpet on the floor. Speakers are spiked thru the carpet. My stereo cab is a very heavy wooden media unit. You can jump up and down on the floor and pound on the walls and no vibration seems to be generated. At least none that that anyone can hear so far. In my last house the floors were weak and caused problems. Isolation was key. It feels weird not to have any now. Should I be looking elsewhere for areas to tweak In this house? I have not explored much in the way of room acoustic treatment yet but I have stuff on order. I'm in love with the sound but always looking for improvements. You all know that addiction I'm sure. Advice is appreciated.
