Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
Without a purpose-built listening room it's unlikely most homes have a floating room with very good ratios and built with multi-layer, heavy, damped construction. My current listening room has those qualities and it still required 32 tuned Hel...

A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
In a recent post on this subject I mentioned a mate with a small almost square room with no carpet, only one flimsy drape and very little else. Think tilled bathroom acoustics. Truly dreadful. He has a lot of money tied up and is constantly spe... 
Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?

Listening in the dark-Fluorescent lights causing hum
Replace the lights, and it is highly unlikely there is anything carcinogenic in your ballasts. That was the 60's. 
Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening
No component, except one that includes loudness or tone controls.Speaker response changes a bit with volume, but any competent speaker will not change even remotely enough to compensate for how much the response of your ear changes with volume.  I... 
Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat
I come from a very poor upbringing myself @mapman , though myself and my siblings have all done very well for ourselves. We do have our parents good genetics, and good worth ethic to thank and a loving upbringing. We were never pushed, but we were... 
1099-K from PayPal (tax form)
I have to agree with Jetter. Never had an issue dealing with anyone from the IRS. If you are nice to them and honest, you get the same treatment back. I am sure there are bad apples, power can do that, but not my experience yet. 
Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat
I used to work with a guy who would take forever to make his point which was a terrible waste of time in a busy day. Worse, he would call from his office even though he worked 45 feet away. He would watch for people to enter their office, and then...
