from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors

I found that covering the front speaker baffles with live sea sponges is a winner, and wall mold, if you're patient and let it grow nice and thick (it can also grow on the pasta), can provide some excellent extra dampening texture along with nice colors.

It's all about the room, and then the equipment. Music comes last!
Seriously though, I want to gradually eliminate absorption. I already have a couple of oriental type area rugs. So if i pull the wall to wall, I can replenish absorption if necessary.

before you do that.......just take all your wires and cables off the floor/rug, separate them as much as you can. try not to run them all in the same socket. use an extension cord to put some of the non essentials in another outlet. make sure you run the power amp and pre amp directly into the wall. don't use a strip for those.... and let me know what happens........
