Speaking of plants and flowers and, yes, I realize I’m directly contradicting the previous poster, but plants and flowers actually hurt the sound. They hurt the sound simply because they are in the room. Not because of any of the usual acoustic theories. All flowers and plants should be removed post haste. I know what you’re thinking, "but plants are natural and act like diffusers." Well, they don’t really act much like diffusers, and it’s because they’re natural that they hurt the sound. If you think they improved the sound it’s most like a simple case of expectation bias. I suggest maybe an A/B test is in order. Are plants and flowers controversial? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. 😀
Best Bang For The Buck I've Ever Spent
Recently installed the Primacoustic London 12 acoustic panel kit purchased from Sweetwater.
Install couldn't have been easier, just a few hours.
Made sure to cover all first reflection points front wall/ceiling/side walls/rear wall.
Less than $800.00, free shipping, no tax, delivered to my home.
Have a dedicated listening room, a dedicated AC line, and have spent many hours on speaker and listening seat positions.
The packaging from Primacoustic was first-rate.
The service from Sweetwater was too.
The difference in resolution was startling.
FWIW, IMO, before anyone spends $ on another piece of gear, spend it on sound treatments.
I'm sure glad I did.
Happy listening...
Tom

@toddverrone - my arm is not a Rega arm - it is an Audiomods arm - Jeff at Audiomods just uses the Rega Arm tube, but everything else is his design and build. You have the option of "micrometer controlled VTA" - very precise at adjusting and resetting back to the original setting. The Audiomods arm is superb in every respect - I highly recommend it. Checkout my review http://image99.net/blog/files/f233eea773cbc47d311b80d32702da48-40.html I’ve since upgraded the phono stage to a Simaudio Moon LP5.3 RS and the details this arm conveys and the precision of its engineering are truly amazing Hope that helps Regards - Steve |
