Without wishing to be overly dramatic or mysterious one of the very best things you can do sound wise is take all the CD, DVDs, LPs and books/magazines out of the room. No, they do not act as diffusers.
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
I really love my stereo currently. I keep thinking I should be looking for the next piece to upgrade - phono stage, stereo subs, etc., but honestly not sure what to change or why I’d potentially spend more money to achieve a result that’s lesser or equal to my current sound quality. I sorta feel clueless as to how to proceed without screwing up what I have. I know it can get better but honestly I’m at a place when I just don’t know how it can. Hmmmmm.... not a bad problem I guess. Open to suggestions for sure. Thx.

No, they do not act as diffusers. Uhhh, they actually do, though maybe not ideally.....and they can also act as absorbers, though again, maybe not ideally. Doing a thorough acoustic inventory room is tricky business that often serves up surprising results. The square footage can add up quickly and can be your friend or your worst enemy. Its all about the frequencies attenuated or accentuated by those square feet and in what measure eh. |
Oh, geez, people will believe anything. CD jewel boxes, for example, are actually *resonators* and not in a good way. Look, the sound will be much improved taking all the things I listed out of the room, no matter what argument you can come up with that it won’t. If you haven’t done the experiment you really don’t know. 😬 |
jerrybj Geoff Base Camp may be the highest I ever need to get to. >>>>I know you can do it. As Bob Dylan says at the end of all his records, good luck to you! |
