Hi Glupson
If you read some of Johnathan Skull’s writing (I think it was he) he used cardboard boxes partly filled with newspaper for trapping his corners. Cardboard and newspaper (not so much slick print) can be fun to play with.
>>>>Yeah, I’ve tried those. About 30 years ago if memory serves. Pretty straightforward energy dissipaters. We call those tweaks. They absorb standing waves in room corners, which just goes to show you that even acoustic vibrations should not all be allowed to roam free, if I can be so bold. The room just like the electronics and cabling requires forethought and a plan of attack. You might not have been paying very close attention, I have, to all the developments in room acoustics treatment that have occurred lo, these last 25 years or so. Really quite remarkable. Not saying your stuff isn’t good, too. But I digress. Back to the boxes with magazines, balled up newspaper, you can call them tuning if you want to. Poor man’s Tube Traps, whatever. Of course this wood and paper thing can work against you. Removing all telephone books, in fact all books and magazines and newspapers from the house does wonders for the sound. You can call that tuning, too, if you want.
