Have you treated your listening space?

-
I see lots of pictures of $$$ systems in bare rooms.
What are the barriers for you to treat your room, or if you have already what benefits have you rendered?
I have improved the sound more than any other way by addressing the reverberant space that my system occupies.

"I would rather listen to a midfi system in a hifi room than a hifi system in a mifi room."

I'll split the difference with you. It's actually spelled
anechoic.

Rug cores, are the poor audiophile's room treatment. Those tall hollow cylinders that are in the center of rugs work very well, even better than some corner bass traps that you pay good money for; they stopped the "booming" in my room. You simply use double stick tape, paint for invisibility, or decorate, and stick them in the corner behind the speakers.

Damn...anechoic it is! Also, I tried to speak to Jeff Hedback once and his voice was so muffled with so little siblance or bass impact I couldn't understand a thing.

Question: How do you soundproof a colicky baby? Wolf: Doll house mattresses, of course! HA

Another idea is coat your ears and face with foam insulation.
