Quote:I could always use a few more diffusers Wink
This is why we're friends. ;)
Quote: I am in a much better spot than I was before, and it's so much easier and enjoyable to sink into a listening session
I love this - I've really thought that I've fallen asleep listening, but it's weird because my hearing brain is conscious of what's going on in the room. Normally when I fall asleep, my hearing is one of the first things my brain shuts off. So when I'm really *into* a listening session, I can only liken to to meditation, or as Steve says an Out of Body Experience. It makes sense now, right?
Quote:I appreciate the encouragement and patience. More to come...
Are you kidding, this is great! I love seeing someone else "see the light". It's going to take a long while, but I feel that someday there will be enough of us that companies will take us seriously and prices on diffusers will come down a bunch.
Quote:On the CD named Renmin Park, there is a song named "Cicadas".
The engineers must be doing some crazy phasing trick with the microphones ..... because the sound of the insects is all over the room, including behind my listening seat.
That almost sounds like Q-sound processing we were talking about in another thread. There is some processing that's been done on a few albums, that when setup correctly, really does this pseudo-surround sound that is so good it's unnerving.
Quote:Dave, I think I would lean towards the styro over the QRD7. They are fragile but work pretty well. Raven put his in a wood frame which helps keep them in one piece.
I agree - I think the PI Audio ones for example do a lot for the amount of money you put into them. It is a little work to paint them (and frame them if you feel the need to) But if you can mount them on the walls and not bump into them they should be fine!
Quote:So I have gone a bit overboard being under the spell of the room treatment Svengali, El Presidente. But you don't have to go this far. As we saw at Aaron's house a few well placed diffusers can really enhance your experience.
Guilty as charged of proselytizing *and* being an enabler, and damn proud of it! My only regret is how much you've passed me up in how good your room sounds! I'm just so busy/stressed/exhausted lately, I'm really not making any progress! Hopefully after Axpona things will settle down enough that I can get serious about my (hopefully) two listening areas/rooms.
