| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? I can't comment on these. I have the MHDT Orchid and I love it. What I will say is that based on what I've read and heard, you (OP) have compiled an excellent and selective list. Well done! | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @maghister Yes you have the "right" to go on and on. I was only making a request. Forget it. I'll just skip past your posts if they're off topic and everyone else who is interested in the main theme of the thread can do the same. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Um Mahgister, no offense, but you do this in a lot of threads. Take a question and relatively focused discussion and drag it into your interesting but somewhat hard to follow and tangential directions. At great length. Clearly you want or need to ... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @nolojunkoThank you for your detailed and probing reply. A few answers/comments.I am realizing that I need to do more left/right speaker sweeps. With help, I've built a spreadsheet to record db changes at key frequency points along with various po... | |
| Acoustic panel for room treatment Oh, man, OP, you on the edge of a volcano. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Thanks, djones! Looks good. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @audio2design Thanks -- I’m trying to correlate the factors you mention. The room is quite irregular in some ways, so it’s lack of closed-ness and rectangularity makes it hard to know what the standards might be. I know there are ways to do it, bu... | |
| Bulk power cables suggestions I sought out the better (SE) versions of (mostly) Pangea cables, used. Saved a lot (50% or more), got good PCs, now the issue is finished. | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) OP, thanks. I'm not disagreeing with you for any reason but to help you find what you want. That may be tubes, or it may not be, but hoping to help you act on the best information available and relevant to your needs. Cheers! | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Thank you Lemonhaze. I have seen some instructional videos on how to make corner traps. They look easy-ish. (I’m not that handy but this seems doable.)I posted a single scan to Avnirvana and got some interesting feedback from Earl. https://www.avn... | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) Not sure why the OP is worried about "fiddling" with tubes or them "blowing up." We all change light bulbs, right? A small signal tube lasts thousands of hours, sounds great, easy to change, and a decent one is not that expensive. Even PS Audio ev... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Thank you for the links. I cannot figure out how to get rid of a couple really persistent nulls. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @nolo and @pdreher Thank you both very much. These are especially useful.@papafrog Thanks. A "tunable" idea sounds attractive. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @audio2designI have had a mic and REW for 7 months and have done hundreds of measurements. I thought I mentioned that, but I agree with you that this is an absolutely necessary prerequisite to spending money on the room.@pdreher Thanks for the hea... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? +1 @chiapinnelli And yet the component, speaker, and cable/cord suggestions just keep pouring in. As if that would make a difference if the room is not addressed. |
