Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
@brownsfan  I agree about the weirdness of "fiberglassophobia."For someone who is ostensibly a scientist and/or engineer, this scare tactic (which he dwells on) is very problematic. Clearly, if people believe him, they have to go with his (non-tox...

Thanks, djones. I'm going to try your suggestion now and see how it measures and sounds.

Thanks, guys. This video is indicating that these ranges are designating the *minimum* amounts one needs to spend to get any real improvement.I’m trying to read between the lines, here. I suspect that Foley is either (a) tired of dealing with cust... 
Audiogon Is Still Relevent...Don't Listen to the Naysayers.
I’ve found this site immensely helpful, overall. I agree with several of the posters' observations about what they learned from the experienced and, in some cases, highly educated (e.g. almarg, RIP) members here.Here’s what I’ve especially liked, ... 
Speaker cable length
I've read a bunch about speaker cable length and have ensured that my lengths are identical. I've wondered whether they should be short or long compared to IC's.However, in the video I posted above, Gene from Audioholics gives an argument as to wh...
