How to tame a bright system?

@unreceivedogma

Mathaudio will not help. You have to make a REW measurments than you have to buy a Minidsp an upload the REW measurments into the Minidsp connect the analog recordplayer to the minidsp audio input which translatie an modify the analog input to a digital format which wil be translate back to An anolog signal to your amp. An possible other costly solution is looking for a pre or integrated amp with lyngdorf of dirac live incorporated which probably wil do the same with any analog input as Minidsp does. For instance NAD has such solution.

Thanks for that but frankly, all a little too anal for me.

As long as it sounds great to my ears, which it nowblessedly does, with the added side benefit of watching my guest’s jaws drop and their eyes bug out when I play their favorite piece of music that they THOUGHT they knew, I’m OK. 👍🏼🤗

I am guessing that covering the walls and ceiling - completely - with an acoustically deadening material is optimal? Yes or no?

@unreceivedogma 

I'm not a acoustic specialist. But i do know that not covering isolation materiales such as rockwool Isover etc could be a health Risk because you could inhale the particals.

So covering your panels with a cloth as i do is a good idea for heath reasons an it looks better 😉

- the particular type of rockwool that I used has no formaldehyde.
- unlike fiberglass, which has sharp edges in its fibers, rockwool is beaded.
- it is completely covered with burlap.
- I waited for about 2 months before moving in to see if it “exhaled” dust. Finding almost none, I felt safe

- the safety record of the material is - so far (20 years) - good. No OSHA documented cases of cancer with this product
