What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

I see that in my minds eye..plus the copper has a nice acoustic flavor. Or even 80% copper 20% tin bronze which I have been searching for,  to use in another acoustic project.Tom

Yes it is only a primitive Helmholtz phenomena resonator.... the key with the open pipes is the lenght relative to one another...
the Helmholtz resonators sets is the ancester of room correction....


My "organ" is more economical than the original "room lens" for me... i dont pretend it is better tough i have no idea....

By the way i already use 3 bigger tubular "plastic" pipes, 8 feet, 5 feet, 3 feet, with 3 inches and 5 inches diameter with success...My first version of the "roomlens"... These 3 tubes are closed at the aperture and a straw is used with a determined lenght and diameter....I have done this 46 hours ago....

On the other end my organ pipes are vented at the basis not glued to wood like the big tubes, and the top aperture is open...


i already created some Helmholtz bottles before that in my room, you have given to me the idea about tubes when answering people mocking "roomlens" with a your post... Thanks to you...

All my devices today act complementarily and my audio room is sonically very good now...


But i need more experiments with tubes and pipes....Fun for months to come .... Price: peanuts.....




I am very proud by the way to be in " the most silliest tweaks" thread and be mocked by some passive consumers and gullible "upgraders" of electronic costly design...

They ignore the elememtary fact that an electronic piece of gear CANNOT work optimally in giving an optimal S. Q.  in a bad uncontrolled mechanical dimensions, in a bad and noisy electrical house grid and in a bad acoustical room like they almost are....

Lewm, There is a right frequency response, perfectly flat from each individual speaker within it's operating range. Once you have that you can alter things to suite your taste. I run my subwoofers a little forward and tilt the treble down 3 dB at 20 kHz for some recordings. I also use a 4 kHz notch filter for harsh recording. 
You should stop being a stick in the mud, spend a couple of $100 and get yourself a calibrated microphone and computer program. It is a lot of fun and a great learning experience. But, if you are happy where you are nobody can argue. Yes, this is certainly a hobby, the mechanical part of it. Listening to music is a necessity.  

If you wear slippers while at the same time, smoke a pipe, I've heard it can make everything sound better. I'm going to try this tweak. 

We dont lack " nuts" in this thread dont add one more ....Myself included for sure....



By the way sarcasm is an art that ask for more than regurgating common place joke....
