| Tube traps the Jon Risch site is very good for these. However, you do need to make a bunch of them. When room modes are excited a few placed in the corners will not make a very big difference. I often hear people tell me--these traps don't work. Well, they d... | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? Okay after my post I made it a point that day to listen to the "hat rack". I think it's really called something like the hologram something or other, but it looks like a hat rack--so I like Hat Rack better. In a room with absolutely bare corners a... | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? The Hat Rack: I'm here at CES and it's on display at a few places. There are many things in this audio world that make large differences that you wouldn't expect to. So far everything I have ever heard that made a difference has some sort of physi... | |
| Window treatment ---Recommendations on fabric? Hunter vertical blinds makes a Honey comb. It works quite well for some absoption and diffusion. For absorption heavy natural fiber of two different types, have a liner of heavey loose woven material like denium or wool and a lighter fabric on the... | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? Haven't seen those. I have seen some descent pruning sheers at home depot though:) | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? Maxgain: The tube traps will help. The other option would be to use heavy drapes but just close them enough so that the angled portions of the window are hidden from view. Then the plant does help with diffusion and you've minimized if not elimina... | |
| Differences in CD burning software/programs Nero does digitally extract and does everything in the digital domain. It is one reason we use it. As to the options--you are right there are many. I have been fortunate enough to have other experts that know much more than I do about CD drives an... | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? Maxgain: I do have experience with these types of products. What they do is reduce the resonance in the glass. This may be a problem for you (it depends on the glass insert), but it's not the problem we discuss regarding bay windows on our website... | |
| Differences in CD burning software/programs There are some differences. The best we've found thus far is the Nero. We use it for all of our masters for our test CDs--it's that good. It's very flexible with different platforms and is reasonably priced. | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? If the cuts are minimum it's a good idea. It will relieve the corner pressure. However, if they get too large it begines to create some pretty interesting interactions that are not easy to describe, but suffice to say that more than about 15% of t... | |
| OK to use curtain to obtain the optimum room size? Sidssp is right. However, you can use the curtain to change certain aspects, but for bass modes you have to consider solid walls that re-enforce bass. If you go to our website for Rives Audio and click on the listening room there is a tutorial o... | |
| Help Save Klipcsh from B & O It was some very basic monster cable at the time. Keep in mind at that time Monster was THE audiophile cable. Having anything bigger than 16 AWG lamp cord was considered an excessive luxury. As to the grain, maybe I misspoke. The B&O had more ... | |
| Help Save Klipcsh from B & O A very long time ago I had a pair of Heresey's and a B&O 2400 receiver. I didn't know any better back then--I didn't read these forums (if they even existed). What I did know was that the B&O looked really cool, had a very good FM section,... | |
| Surround speaker sugg. for Martin Logan fronts? I've used Triad Silver's as well and they did work extremely well. My choice would probably be Scripts or other small ML speakers, but the room did not allow for those, so I went with ceiling mounted Triads. They did work very well with the MLs. | |
| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations Cdc: You should see an audiologist or ENT. I am not a physician, but it does sound like you have tenitus (I'm sure I spelled that incorrectely). It is painful and is generally triggered by high frequencies. Speech is midband and does not cause the... |
