| Listening Room Dimensions... I'm building one and need your help As you know, the Cardas Golden Ratio H/W/L ration is 1.0 x 1.6 x 2.6 (say, 10' x 16' x 26').

When Sheffield Records/The Mastering Lab engineer Doug Sax evaluated a new piece of equipment, he did so by way of a bypass test:1- Insert the piece into the recording or reproduction chain, at zero gain. 2- Listen for any change in the sound.3- I... | |
