How To Proceed With Room Treatments
If you send GIK photos or even a sketch they will recommend where to start.It's a free service.There is a lot of information to read and learn on their website.The panels are returnable also.I did my room for about $800 and I also have pictures on... 
Have I gotten complacent?
Layla was an 'Ode to Boyd' as most of us know;) 
Have I gotten complacent?
I'm done too,unless something breaks.When my CD player bit the dust a couple of months ago I was more annoyed than excited about auditioning new gear.I just want to kick back and enjoy now,maybe a tweak or two once in a while.We can enjoy our hobb... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Screamin and Hollerin the Blues it's new acoustic recordings of pre war blues classics  
GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...
Yeah Meatloaf is pretty bad!Scorpions -Big City Nights is pretty bad too. 
GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...
I agree that Elton John recordings are disappointing,the piano is buried far under the other instruments.I haven't tried Meatloaf yet since I've spent the last year revamping my system,but will do so today since now I'm curious.The Blues Brothers ... 
Humor friday. Expencive fuses and?
There was a guy that posted a picture here or maybe on AA of his custom made gold plated breaker box.The interior was all gold.I thought it was funny anyway:-) 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
No fuse swapping for me.I'm just not comfortable poking around inside my components.Cables,tubes,and isolation gizmos are more my speed. 
Why flag a post?
I'm a mod on a non audio related board.We do have lives and can't spend every waking moment keeping track of threads.We appreciate a heads up for spam posts so they can be blocked.Heated debates are welcome and informative.Childish personal attack... 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
I've got only about 35hours on my new Tubadour iii (Dueland caps) and it's sounding really really good.There's the tiniest bit of hash over some of the vocals but of course I'm listening for it and being extra critical.It's just an open, organic,d... 
My beloved CDP finally bit the dust
@mesch good to know I'm not just talking to myself,lol.I'm always bummed when someone promises an update and the thread just ends abruptly.

+2 for Audio Advisor.Another good company is Crutchfield.You can save a few $ at both sites if they have 'open box' components of what you are interested in.

@markusthenaimnut the only other dac I've tried was a Parasound.It actually didn't sound too bad,but it became congested with complicated music.My Vincent CDP died(which I loved!) so I am going with separates again after a ten year hiatus.The Tuba... 
GIK Acoustics summer contest!
I think your room looks great.Does using 90% diffusion sound better to you or just different?I have GIK bass traps but haven't tried diffusers yet. 
Speakers
The hard surfaces are going to be a problem.Give some serious thought to room treatments.GIK has very attractive options that fit in with any decor.They are light enough to be stored away easily between serious listening sessions if that's a facto...
