Havelock Wool acoustic panels vs fiberglass/Rockwool
@billpete    I am 68 so I get the too old to do it again!  I am not as fast as I used to be for sure.     Once I get the room done I plan on building a couple of QRD's for the back wall to see what it does for the sound.  I have planned a pair ... 
Havelock Wool acoustic panels vs fiberglass/Rockwool
@billpete  This is a stand alone structure away from our home, so the wool risks of off gassing if it caught fire are not of much concern.  The concern I have is breathing in fiberglass particles over the years that might be recirculated thru the... 
Havelock Wool acoustic panels vs fiberglass/Rockwool
@ditusa  I am not attempting to reinvent the wheel, just add a little bit of room reflection control to a lively space as safely as possible.  Dennis has his followers, as do many acoustic gurus.    
Havelock Wool acoustic panels vs fiberglass/Rockwool
@ditusa  Nothing new a new name for Rockwool insulation.  Mike  No this stuff is made from sheep wool. Much safer on your lungs and it’s aciloustic properties are better than any synthetic product I am aware of, though not ni... 
Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society"
I have always allowed myself some amount of time to determine if changing out anything in my system is for the better/same/detrimental.    Any obvious and immediate changes are rarely for the better, but unless it is fatigueing, I will continue t... 
Too good to be buried in a thread.
Great lyrics, heartfelt emotions and beautifly sung. Doesn't get any better. Thanks for sharing.  
A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of.
@slaw   Love the Delines!  Haven't picked up their brand new release yet, but have everything else in their library!  
better wood for a plinth
@ncarv    I think you meant to write Bubinga, from Africa.  
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
@coltrane1  Couldn't agree more with your soul selections.  I love this period of music and especially what the groups you mentioned mean to me.  I don't have any of these on vinyl, but can't understand why many have not been re-released/remaster... 
Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
Glen Hansard  
Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm
I love how some anoint themselves as God of all things analog and keeper of how all music must sound.  So glad that we get to chose different interpretations and not have to rely on a solo source to experience the beauty of this hobby. A world wit...

@mijostyn I too am glad that my own ears/brain determine what sounds satisfy myself, not what a machine tells me music should sound like.    
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
@overthemoon  It's not just SF, it's a lot of modern speakers. I hope that I can find something that is new and modern that leans toward my still of listening!  Just not as easy as it used to be to find many options which I could then really comp... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
I am 65 and also still enjoy louder listening levels than what many seem to enjoy. I have had a terribly difficult time finding speakers that will allow me to listen louder, without the upper midrange/treble region becoming fatiguing and troubleso...
