Can I Live With A Hardwood Floor?
goofyfoot, if you're still looking for a good deal on rugs, Incredible Rugs and Decor has great selection and prices. It's where I get my rugs from, and yes, stick to natural wool. Not only is it better for sound but it feels so good underfoot. All the best, Nonoise |
asvjerry and nonoise, that's my plan. I'm currently suing the US Postal Service, waiting to be put on the docket. After that, then I'll have some expendable cash flow. For right now as I've mentioned, I placed a wool German military blanket on the floor and a cotton throw with some Ukrainian wool fabric on top and it has helped considerably. Thanks for the link nonoise. It appears as though this would be a good source for not paying a lot of money. I do still trust in these Akiko Products as careful trial and error positioning has offered a giant improvement to my system. |
an isolation transformer is a device about the size of an amp that your equipment plugs into - it will not adversely affect your SQ since you are on a budget (yet have Quads??) you will want to be very careful about wasting money: - you probably do not have line noise - most noise is from bad gnds, gnd loops, or is generated INSIDE your own equipment - you may well want to add some absorbers and diffusers (or a combination unit) - you can read about them extensively in the Master handbook of Acoustics (I saved money by checking it out from my city library (twice)). And you can build both types of room treatments yourself - I posted some links on here somewhere before Room Treatments will be by far the most cost effective way to get better SQ |
