@kota1 talking to people like that is such a gift, they have no reason to do anything but help you, wonderful. What treatment did you perform acoustic or electronic? I don’t know if you read my note about “revealing” speakers sounding bad but it’s...

@kota1 You have such a good attitude toward sound, the limitations are personal prejudice and being willing to change. I disagree with the people who say just enjoy the music. Audiophiles do have a place in the sound world they are the people who...

  @ghdprentice Wow that is an amazing headphone setup, I lived 14 hrs a day with my headphones on working on films for 35 years and came to the conclusion that your brain fills in so much of the gaps in just a few hours of listening. I have the S...

kota1 Ya know rooms are weird concerning acoustics, the best studios I've been in have sounded really strange definitely not the dark room with perfect RT-60 dissipation, smooth reverb. One of the very frustrating parts of acoustics to me is that ...

mijostyn Also, I've only done sound all my life and I've come across an interesting thing. People that are really good at it are into other things like your woodwork, many of my friends and the people that I look up to in the industry strangely en...

mijostyn Thank you for the piano recording notes, I'll listen to them with nothing else going on, the house quiet, my wife sleeping, my mind at ease, no caffeine and my tubes warmed up.  How do you feel about my point about my piano making sound ...
