Acoustic Treatment or Cable Upgrades?


Let say if you have $2000 to spend. You room is pretty live and you're using Home Depot or Radio Shack Cables. Would you spend your money on cables or Acoustic Treatment?

If you don't mind buying used or getting your hands dirty ( DIY ), you could probably treat your room ( first things first ), buy some better cables AND go to Dairy Queen or Tastee Freeze with the change. With all of this heat, a LARGE root beer float sounds good right about now : ) Sean

Where can I find used ASC or Echobusters...Can't ever seem to find them on Audiogon.
You will just have to search the various audio sites and wait until some are available. I recently had a guy offer ASC Tube Traps for $75.00 each. Probably due to the fact that I paid cash and he did not have to hassle with finding boxes and shipping them.

There are posts here in Audiogons archives concerning DIY room treatments, and even a few good books on the subject. Much of the mystery of these specialty products are just in the assembly of common products such as fiberglass and transparent cloths.
