Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ?

Hi inna, thanks for the topic,

Most of my audio life has been moving from place to place for my chosen work.  My existing dedicated studio is a great sonic challenge 10' x 7 1/2' x 10'.  Prior was a heavily worked large space...large monitors, a full-blown SOTA Star Sapphire turntable (post Allen Perkins/Spiral Groove w/Fidelity Research 64fx arm)...this was my GoN sold Nova active preamp

...amp was an Electrocompanied Ampliwire II, a sweet overachiever.

If interested, elsewhere here, one can follow my journey into the digital world.  Room tuning includes GIK, ATS Acoustics and DIY open cell foam.  Precise, expertly applied DSP (thanks Mike) and the BACCH Plug-In bring this room to a level I'd never dreamt possible, far beyond the vinyl rig above. 

These last dozen years, despite having my close friend Thurson's costly dream systems in a huge space with which to compare, both vinyl sourced and digital, I am truly contented.  Yes, if cost were no object, I would have multiple sized rooms.  Yet, for my flavors, this system can deliver ANY form of music, and, I'm highly eclectic...Mahler and Beethoven, Feat, Cooder, Eva, Mutter, Evans, Blue Highway, period choral, Mingus and beyond.  Thanks, Mom, for instilling..."...where there is a will, there's a way."

My room is far simpler but accomplishes what rooms many times their cost do.

The walls are 6” deep, the ceiling 14”, filled with rock wool, and covered with fire resistant burlap. The rock wool is there for the thermal barrier, the acoustic treatment it provides is a freebee. So the only cost was the fabric and the sweat equity of installing it.

Based on my architect’s guidance.

I’m a cheap rat bastard.

Hi pinthrift,

Your room is a big challenge indeed, it's good that you managed to make it work.
