A Benz Ruby 3.
Yes, Geoffkait, I don't believe my audio system is the best; however, it is among the most enjoyable. My resolution, imaging and ambiance retrieval are not as good as many inferior systems but when taken as a whole, it is better than most audiophiles. So many have systems in constant flux, constantly changing components. I view my audio system as a system, carefully put together to create synergy.
My current project is to build my new listening room in my new home. It is a great challenge and will go against common conceptions. I will be using carbon filters in the 12" cabinet size walls for the bass which apply to frequencies from 30 to 125 Hz, the fundamentals. The exterior and interior finishes are to provide support for the bass. No bass traps will be required. Do to cost restraints, I will be using a wide frequency acoustic foam unlike most foams and geared toward the cherry plywood interior wall finish. I hope it works. My current room was based on traditional dual drywall, staggered stud, wide plate criteria. Both current and future rooms will have 6" minimum engineered slab foundations.
The new room won't have anything but seating and equipment. My current room has 42,000 LPs/78s/CDs (in metal drawers). So, huge difference. I'll post the results after I move in.
