Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr

Lolligager, very well put.

I now have some further experience with the SR Basik ARTs. I have a small room in my summer home and sought Ted Denney's advice on whether I could do something to make a 10 x 13 x 8 room. He advised two sets of the $500 Basik ARTs and how to use them. I did have a very positive benefit from them, but will further experiment with them this summer, using the new advice I found at the RMAF.

I have now used these Basiks in my main system which already had the original ARTs, putting the base stations in front of my speakers as I saw at the RMAF. Additionally I have used four of the Basiks on the speaker wall at six inches from the side walls. The lowest of these are at the level of the Vibratron and the others 18 inches above them.

This had the effect of sounding like crosstalk in the system had been greatly reduced. My sound stage sounds much wider and defined.

I have no patience with those who don't experience any demonstration of these devices but dismiss them out-of-hand based on their limited understanding of science. No true scientist would reject observational effects. I will not respond to such nonsense and post here only to express my personal experiences.

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." - Voltaire

I believe there is a causal explanation for anything we can observe -- and that includes our own sometimes over-active imaginations ;--) It's certainly true that (current) science often lags behind observed phenomena -- certainly no reason to dismiss the observation itself.

In other words, it comes down to how comfortable one is with "not knowing". Richard Feynman, the world-famouns quantum physicist, mathematician and Nobel Laureate, quite eloquently, put it this way:

I think the problems (OK, the arguments) begin when 3 audiophiles in a room each make a similar observation, while 3 others, present at the same time and possessing normal hearing, observe no change or difference at all.

Both groups can't be "right", or can they? I would be inclined to say they can; while remaining comfortable, for the time being, with my inability to explain how that could be.

Thanks Richard Feynman ;--))

Define "possessing normal hearing."

What I am saying is that for those of your ilk, listening is not done.

. . . . . and of your ilk, experience is not expressed ;--))

By "normal hearing", I simply meant "not stone deaf"!
Tbg, my post was actually in support of your position -- don't know how you thought otherwise; or reacted defensively . . . peace brother ;--))
