| DAC's Made in the USA The requirement "Made in the U.S.A." seems intended to avoid benefiting a country whose policies are disapproved of by the OP. It's a good ethical principle. Now, it should apply not only to the overall unit but to all the parts inside, right?If s... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @sokoogear Threads lead in many directions. It's like a conversation. Tangents sometimes lead interesting places. When they don't, I stop following or skip over, as is your strategy. To each their own. Peace. | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? @chorus Thanks for your suggestion. Ceiling seems crucial! | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? @amtprod It’s a good question, but what is not evident from the diagram is that the right speaker, nearest the bathroom wall, actually fires into the entrance way which forms part of the front wall. In other words, there is no first reflection poi... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? @bigwave Thanks so much. Bass is primarily what I have been measuring in my room. Moving speakers, listening position, the sub, doing the sub crawl, etc. But this chart looks very handy and may have some ideas I've missed.@assetmgrsc I've definite... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? @jetjuice Thank you for your replies. It's a privilege to have someone with your experience taking up my question. I'm trying to calculate the amount of reverb with REW. And at this point, I'm playing with the material -- to see how it affects wh... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? @edunbar and @tazz2 Thanks -- I will go take a look. I've watched a lot of videos about acoustics and treatments but perhaps there will be something additional here to learn.@corelli I'll consider suspending the panels. Once a 2" panel is suspende... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? @mitch2 — thanks for those tips. I probably will want to use these for something more than room pads, because like many, I'm not so handy that I will be able to finish these into something long-term good looking. @tvad Good suggestion. I hadn't ... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? Here’s a 1st report: 6 OC 703 panels placed at various places. (a) Placed on first reflection on floor, immediately under ceiling reflection spots. Had noticeable reduction of harsh upper mids and treble. Even better on some tracks with two panels... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @sokogear There are many threads of an esoteric nature. No one compelled you to come back to this thread, to read it, to reply to it. You are free to leave, anytime. You clicked on it -- so what? You didn’t pay, you’re not contracted to check back... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? Thanks, TVAD. I have some leftover blue tak so this is great. | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? Thank you all. I've done the mirror test and have no sidewall first reflection points that are closer than 15 feet. My listening seat is about 8 feet from the speakers.I mainly want to listen. I am doing measurements, too, in order to see if I can... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? My dimensions are complex -- diagram on this page: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/9064I have no side reflection points to worry about but I have a low ceiling. I have a concrete floor but it has both wall to wall carpet, thin, and area rugs ... | |
| Looking for some new floor standing speakers I very much liked some Dynaudio Evoke floorstanders I heard. Some on sale, now. https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=1DYEVOKE50 | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @mahgister I also like the aesthetics of John Dewey -- experience-based, interactive. "Classical" and "Romantic" are old labels meant to capture something, but they hardened and set people apart. That's his thrust, I think. Pirsig was pushing towa... |
