The problem with absorption panels- it kills the fine details
I think the consensus is that most rooms don’t need much acoustical treatment as long as there is a furnished room. All the listening rooms we see with all the really really fancy gear only have all the really really fancy gear in them. It’s ridi... 
diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose?
I've never seen concrete ceilings? Is this for a bomb shelter?  I have a basement with a cement finished wall which have a rough surface and Nice acoustically but the basement ceiling is so damn low it's a pointless exercise. But the ceilings in ...

Is there an iPad app that I can use to evaluate my room? I have a acoustical microphone I can plug into my ipad so that's not a problem.

Kota1 Thank you for the YouTube link The video about diffusers is over an hour. What the hell are they talking about for an hour about diffusers?  
diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose?
Not sure I like those gik diffuser panels, don't like the way they look. I don't think anyone really knows what they're using and why. Some say use diffusers behind the speakers and some say use absorbers and for those who lack conviction, use a ... 
Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
NAIM I haven’t heard much about this brand, anybody know if it’s any good?  
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me
Clearly they were having a party in their store, I'd be frustrated too if I didn't get invited. Maybe she got unhappy because she hates charging such high prices for audio gear. Maybe she hates working there. It's Manhattan. Most people going ... 
Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ?
Clearly racks are not designed for usability by most people. Once you put them someplace they pretty much have to stay there. Mobility is lost. Why don't rack manufacturers do a better job here.   I wanna stack two Mono blocks but there is no ra... 
Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
Are the power supplies usually a lot larger than the analog piece of the equation when it comes to an amp?? Seems to me the amplifier is deserving of a separate power box and all the rational to not do it doesn’t make sense. The impact on sound c... 
Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ?
so the fact that it's on coaster wheels doesn't impair sound quality. Mobility is extremely important for this heavy equipment.   Common sense tells me that rubber wheels are important to avoid vibrations reaching the floor and vice versa.     I... 
Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ?
I think the vibration rationale for improved sound when using coasters is laughable The only people saying they hear a difference are those marketing the product. Yes you need to isolate a turntable obviously. components come with special feet th... 
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
I was talking about YouTube video Quality music.  I wasn't talking about YouTube music which I don't think deserves to be even recognized.  I forgot it even existed.    
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
I am a premium YouTube subscriber and I read above the bit rate increase this year?  Is this true?  I have to admit lots of the YouTube Music videos and concert videos sound really good on a nice system.  I do question those crazy people doing po... 
Single plug dedicated circuit?
So the only thing of real value here is a 10 gauge wire to ensure there's plenty of unimpeded impulse power for all the frequency demands. Even if you run a hair dryer it's still gonna spread throughout the panel and contaminate component. Maybe a... 
Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer
zombiedad   What is the nature of the licensing arrangement? I thought dealers bought the product marked it up and sold it.
