| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. @OP, when I suggest searching on the net I do not mean a forum like this. There are groups specifically about acoustics. Here are 2 links to get you started.https://www.gearslutz.com/board/studio-building-acoustics/https://www.audiocircle.com/inde... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. @mahgister, we are on the same page.@669326 Dear OP, it does not work like that. You are going to continue to get 'advice' and most of it will contradict itself unfortunately. In my experience only a very small percentage of those keen on reprodu... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. @sokogear you state "room treatments can’t fix a terrible room". Then what can fix it? All rooms need acoustic treatment whether you think they do or not. Fact. Any enclosed space will have a modal problem and it is this that the treatment addr... | |
| Downside to R2R Ladder DACs? @cheeg, that salesman you trust is untrustworthy. Move on. I have an ancient Wadia 15 that only plays redbook. Uses the famous Burr Brown PCM63 and sounds wonderful. If there has/had been drifting it still managed to outperform a bunch of DACs in... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @hilde45, stubborn nulls or deep partial nulls just need more bass traps and in the right place which are the corners. All corners can be considered, This means the wall to ceiling corner and the wall/wall corners. And unfortunately they must be B... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? Can always rely on a fuse thread for some entertainment. WOW guys really?If you don’t believe fuses can make a difference, great you have eliminated the issue and can move on. That is, PLEASE MOVE ON. Why waste your time belittling others when you... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? A lot of suggestions offered. Unfortunately the bulk of them will NOT bring about a significant improvement. In fact unless the room acoustics are sorted the small but worth while potential of some of these suggestions will be lost in your room wh... | |
| Recommendation for new cables Hi lalitk, yes we agree OCC cables are excellent and find I mostly prefer solid. If you read my post again you will see we are on the same pageRegarding my sentence : “Your desire for only one brand to have synergy across the system is unlikely t... | |
| Recommendation for new cables Your desire for only one brand to have synergy across the system is unlikely to provide that to your quality components.Except for cable companies that use magnets or filter boxes or liquid metal in their cables you are probably not going to find... | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? @ OP, just noticed this from Absolute Sound, where your speakers feature :50 Greatest bargains in high-end audio ALL-IN-ONE SYSTEMSNaim Mu-so 2, $1695 KEF LS50 Wireless, $2199 Bowers & Wilkins Formation Duo, $4000ENTRY LEVELPSB Alpha P5 and T... | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? Vandersteen speakers are not woolly or veiled, nor are they hard to drive. I once heard a pair of the model 2(something) in a small room driven by Quicksilver monos which used, if I remember correctly, EL34 PP producing 30/40 watts. The resulting ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @audio2design, perhaps you are wearing your covid mask too tight and it's cutting off the oxygen supply. | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? There is so much great info on the net regarding acoustics and seeing that it is the acoustics of your room that is going to be the final say on what you will hear that I once again encourage you to delve deeper into this fascinating aspect of opt... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? I somehow deleted a long post. I'll try again but keep it short.6 x OC 703 panels will help but not all that noticeable. Buy a bunch more as they will not go to waste.For the biggest impact look at taming bass frequencies which creates acoustic ha... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @ironlung, you are fighting an uphill battle trying to reason with audio2design and his ilk, but full marks for effort.@vhiner, good post and I fully agree |
