Bass Trap help
Orpheus10 wrote "The cores are very easy to decorate in order to make them invisible". . . or you can dress them up and make them look like architectural columns. I bought a 12foot long 48" diameter Sonotube to fill with OC701 fiberglass for a bas... 
Sound diffusion panels--do they reduce brightness?
Blueskiespbd - have you an update on your "brightness" problem?I added a QRD diffuser to the side wall to treat the 1st reflection from the main speaker on the opposite side of the room which reduced a bit of HF glare while improving musical detai... 
Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass?
I'm with Bigby on this one - TREAT YOUR ROOM! Build very thick DIY Fiberglass filled bass traps with a generous air space (e.g. 6"-8") behind them. I'm sure your $350 will go along way of buying some lumber and OC701 fiberglass or equivalent and s... 
Bass Trap help
Jim,Your resistive-type bass traps made from OC703 work best when placed out from the wall a distance equal to 25% of the offending wavelength. So, for 100, 80, and 63Hz peaks, you should experiment with an air space of 33.9", 42.4", and 53.8" res...

Room Treatments
Hi all - at the risk of self-promotion, I wanted to let you know that I got my side wall reflective baffles (i.e. horizontal oak planks) installed a little while back. Pictures of the room are in my "System."The planks are 3/4" thick Oak and there... 
Antelope Zodiac Gold - anyone have or heard one?
Thank you guys. Wow, I find it interesting that Ckkeung's friend found the Zodiak Gold to be equivalent or somewhat better than the Weiss DAC202 - that says a lot!! 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
George - thank you for chiming in. Glad to hear that no sonic purity is being lost at 8-9 o'clock than further around the volume dial.Clio09 - Hemi-cylindrical (polyfuser) diffusers are much easier and faster to make than Skylines of similar size.... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Clio09 - thanks for taking the time to do your homework before your great answer above. While I intend to purchase the LIO-8 DAC I am currently using an antiquated Sony 5 disk player (CDP-CA7ES) which has an output impedance and voltage of 10K ohm... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Fellow Lighspeed owners - The listening level that I use has my Lightspeed volume at about 8-9 o'clock as my 97dB efficient speakers don't require many watts to crank them up (I'm using an Art Audio PX25 SET amp with 6watts/ch. by the way).Am I mi... 
Most effective Room Treatment for slap echo, etc
Have you done any of the things I suggested? 
WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS?
Huntermusic - have you considered clocks by Antelope? They make pro-grear stuff which is usually as good as if not better than most audiophile stuff at less cost. Their clocks are their sweet-spot. 
Pass X150.5 vs. X250.5
Ccanino,Adding to the room treatment remarks made by Bryan and Ckoffend, I might suggest you temporarilly take your side wall 1st reflection absorbers and move them to your back wall (behind the listening position); reflections from the back and f...
