| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Sound treatments are cheapIf my understanding of room treatments is correct -- given how much area of a typical room needs treatment -- doing room treatments adequately is not at all cheap. This is not due to snake oil or overpriced panels, etc., ... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? For those suggesting wire, interconnect, power cords or AC tweaks -- given his room (he gave us a picture) -- do you think this would result in a 'remarkable' improvement, which is what he's after? Given the room's situation, I cannot see how thes... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? I'm not against the idea of a Helmholtz resonator type of solution, but I'm not yet sure which frequencies are most problematic. I do not have too many peaks, the greater problem is with nulls. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @corelli I posted a photo but it's old. It's on the long wall. I've moved to the short wall and everything is in measurement Hell. Moving the sub, taking measurements on listening position, speaker position, room modes, etc. I have not done treatm... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I’ve put a system together that I like over the past year, and have already felt the itch, myself. But as un-sexy as it is, and as "fixed" as I thought my room was, I now admit that nothing has improved my set up as much as adjusting listening pos... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? mmm -- thank you djones. I'll take a look. | |
| Any thoughts on Martin Logan Motion 60xt? You might do some research on the advances of the xti model vs. the less expensive xt. I remember reading about some non-trivial improvements. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Having a busy week. Here are some replies.Thanks, newtoncr for the tip about ASC. I have read that whether treatments are tubes or panels, it doesn't really matter, but I'll read some more. Some of the photos of a room filled with tubes seems more... | |
| Any thoughts on Martin Logan Motion 60xt? I auditioned some ML 60 XTi (note: XTi not XT) speakers extensively over the summer. I decided against them because in my room the ceilings are so low that the speakers could not be tamed on the high end. But here are some of my general reflection... | |
| Newbie Can't Decide Which Tube Amp @yogiboy I think it’s safe to divide all forum respondents into two camps: Those who recommend what they own and only what they own (using all caps, or language that implies that anyone who ignores them is an idiot) and Those who consider what the... | |
| Newbie Can't Decide Which Tube Amp Whatever you do, don't buy Raven.(Just trolling you know who. Raven seems good.)Love Quicksilver. One thing about the Mono 120's -- they're more powerful than the Mono 60's but less flexible in which tubes they can take, I believe. (decooney state... | |
| DAC module of a high-end integrated amplifier I can't really address the specifics in your post, OP, but a recent review of the Hegel H95 by Tarun on youtube states that the in built DAC on it is superior to his stand alone Chord. FWIW. | |

| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? I appreciate the suggestions so far. I have taken hundreds of scans with room EQ Wizard and have someone very experienced helping me look over and analyze the scans. I am managing to deal with the low frequencies pretty well and have optimized lis... | |
