You can go home again

From a different perspective, my system has been in storage for over 3 months as I am having a new house built.  I currently listen to my tunes via sony bluetooth headphones(which are fantastic) but I am curious to hear what my system sounds like once rebuilt in a new room.  Will it sound as I remember?  Will it be better/worse?  Will some records have an improvement and vice versa?  

I built my system around a sound that I like and curious if that will still be the case. Memory can be deceiving as well as romanticized.

polkalover, be ready potentially for a rude surprise when you set up your system again. The sound will likely be vastly different than you recall. You will need to reproach the task as though making a brand new rig. Very likely it will have elements you will like, and some you won't like. The sooner you accept the larger constraints and benefits of the new room, the happier you will be. Work with it to make it a great experience!  :)

I am bracing for the shock.  Its all part of this fun little hobby.  Here's hoping the sound improves as the room will be improved over what I had.  For starters its on a slab with plush carpeting instead of being on a a 2nd floor with hardwood floors and secondly, the electric is a direct run or dedicated circuit and an isolated ground from the panel with zero branch circuits. 

That alone should be on the + side

Music - absolutely, although tastes have expanded a bit and a few bands are reduced significantly in the record rotation.

Stereo - definitely not. Every time I make an improvement (or especially when I moved), I wish I could have always heard something so good. The newest improvements are not as significant as the older ones as the law of diminishing returns rears its head. 

It comes down to how much you are willing to spend on smaller and smaller improvements.

polkalover, speaking of bracing for a shock, a college age young lady in our church competed in platform diving. Her father related that they are only allowed so many dives according to a recovery schedule; each time they hit the water it can be the equivalent of the impact of a minor car accident! 

Consider from Wikipedia: Diving is considered a collision sport because of the impact with the water on entry. A diver entering the water from the 10-meter platform is traveling almost 40 miles per hour. These forces are enough to break bones and dislocate joints.

I prefer that the shock to my body be by sound waves versus water.   :) 

My room is similar, with concrete slab, thick pad and thick carpeting, and with dedicated runs for the audio system as well. This past year I upgraded the electrical service to 200A and with it whole house surge protection. 

Prior to moving the system to the basement, I had it in the living room of this same house. I much prefer the new location for two primary reasons; I overbuilt the room to have extremely good noise diminishment, and it allows me to hear into the system, as in a recording studio. One does not get the sense of the room intruding or imposing its signature upon the system. I much prefer that effect.  :)
