Geoff i think you are a bit less in shape than usual...You dont have mention the important fact to place ice cube regularly at each hour to gain the most!
Helmhotz resonators for audiophile at almost no cost and without calculus...
The importance to treat the room if you have speakers, even in nearfield listening like me, is imperative ...
Here is my advice:
Buy some big empty wine bottles, or drink them before, it is optional....Or use some carafes, the kind that some display at the center of a table....I use plastic wrapping sheets to tightly seal the aperture of the bottles and the carafes after pouring in them around 10 % of water in their volume space...You must listen and experiment for your taste and room to determine the exact amount of water to boost the frequencies that will benefit….After that I peirce the plastic sheet with a needle and I insert a thin straw with only the extremity of the straw at the top... That its! You know have an Helhmotz resonator...
You now have one of the more astounding tweak for a room that will transform your listening space in sound heaven ...I use more than 15 of them in my little audio room and trust me that is one of a kind upgrading...
I wrote that for those who want to experiment, the others can stay silent...My best to all...

Actually all you need to have is a temperature differential of 20 to 30 degrees F to hear the bowls of water. That means you can get by with cold tap water. Putting ice in the water is just uh, icing on the cake and to add some complexity. 😬 I debuted the bowls of water tweak at CES in the Golden Sound Room in 2005. My, how time flies! 🔙 Am I in shape now? 🏋🏻♂️ |
For those with enough disposable income, there are sets you can buy if you google it. Here's a link to a complete set of resonators but these are not for sale: https://utsic.utoronto.ca/wpm_instrument/helmholtz-resonators/ Just click on the photo to get a better view. All the best, Nonoise |
