Andy, I'd feel better if we could....*L* I want the "I don't mind Lamp"....wait a minute, I already own some. You turn them on, and they don't flicker at me. Unless the utility is having a hiccup, that's OK. If I don't like white, there's colored bulbs.... Meanwhile, speaking of resonators.... https://www.audiogon.com/listings/acoustics-highend-novum-pmr-premium-mkii-room-acoustic-resonator-e... Some want to do it on purpose, and pay a premium to do so. Another "Say What?!" moment..... Buy some ART for the room, a couple of beautifully done bowls that 'float your boat' aesthetically. Something to 'take the minimalist edge off the cave'. I'd wager they'd do more or less the same thing; and if they didn't, move 'em into the living room or wherever.... They're pretty...for a nicely rendered sat dish....;) Can we blame all this on lead in the water, please? |
Avsjerry Andy, I’d feel better if we could....*L* I want the "I don’t mind Lamp"....wait a minute, I already own some. You turn them on, and they don’t flicker at me. Unless the utility is having a hiccup, that’s OK. If I don’t like white, there’s colored bulbs.... Meanwhile, speaking of resonators... speaking of resonators, these tiny bowl resonators have been around like forever. The first was the Acoustic Resonators, from the mind of Franck Chang, which come in pure silver, or pure gold or pure platinum. (Pseudo-skeptics alert!). There are others, too, different materials, but the same idea. It’s straight physics, right out of the textbook I’m sure you’ve long forgotten. Broadband Helmholtz resonator. Heck I’ve even got one, Codename White Poppy, named after the white ceramic I use for mine. I know a good thing when I see one. geoff kait machina dramatica the mind is a terrible thing to have |
I built some DIY HFT resonators using ozzy’s recipe (copper fly fishing cones inside of 1/8" copper plumbing end caps). Total cost was something like $20. They definitely effect the sound in my room. Pretty powerful actually. Easy to overdo it and the mid-treble gets hard sounding IME. I also heard the SR ART system in several settings. I like the effect but just too expensive to me, not to say that others haven’t gotten great results they feel to be worth the money. Also heard good benefits from Helmholz resonators between and behind Apogees. Then there are the Schumann resonance generators...heard good things from friends but concerned about health effects.
