How To Proceed With Room Treatments
GIK will ship you Owens Corning 703 in a box of six for about $100. The panels are 24"x 48" and 2" thick. Enough to play around.The cost to benefit ratio is ridiculous with their finished panels. Can't go wrong. 
Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
My old vinyl collection actually got me back into the music listening hobby. Probably had about 800-1000 albums stored, never thought I would actually play them but couldn't turn loose. A box came apart and as I was reboxing them started reading t...

Why more bass subwoofer into power conditioner
Lots to be said for balanced power. Lots. 
Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?
I throw the breaker and unplug. Also took the Cable TV off the system. I can hook it up when I want to quickly. Every house on my block/street had been hit by lightning. I really can't handle that nightmare. 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
First of all I also live for the next great blues album I can find. So here's one. Alvin Lee, I Hear You Rockin. Just damn!I use Zu Definition 4s, not cheap but do they play the blues! 
Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
If I had 20K to put in a digital playback system I would probably like digital as much as my vinyl setup. Right now though, I hear considerably more variation and realism in the vinyl domain,. Hey, I wish I had a digital setup that sounded as good...

Designing new room
That 14’ vaulted ceiling could be dropped at it’s apex and designed with some wonderful diffusion since you have at least a couple of feet to play with. Dropping it definitely gives you some room to play with diffusion/absorption. You don’t see ma...
