Jax2 what do you recommend as acoustic room
treatment I wonder....
I use small children and house pets. If you live in a 'family-oriented'
neighborhood like me, they can frequently be found wandering the streets,
and/or on their way to or from school. I've been encouraged by fellow
audiophiles who've listened in my room to start selling my line of manacles
and gags for just that purpose. Ought'a put that Rives fellow right outta'
business if I ever do. Well, I guess you can still use their PARC device to
position the little rugrats! It's kind of expensive keeping the whole system
fed and maintained, but let me tell you, once you hear it you'll never want to
go back to 'pedestrian' room treatments. You need to get'em between 8-10
years old for optimum performance. Once they get older you just dump here
on the Gon' to some unsuspecting geek who doesn't know better. Oh, and
don't forget to cut air holes in those shipping boxes, and throw in a couple of
Twinkies™ if it's going to be more than a couple of days in transit. If you
have a bigger room the fat ones will serve you better, but are more expensive
to feed and keep. Cats hung up in the corners of the room make great bass-
busters, but make sure to take em down to use the litterbox on a regular
basis or you'll be sorry. Oh, and be patient on this stuff if you decide to try it
out; the break-in period is a killer! I'd recommend going on vacation and
leave the feeding and maintenance to a good friend or neighbor who won't
report you to the local authorities. Regardless, give it a good month before
you settle in and enjoy the new room!
