| Have you treated your listening space? Roxy54,Most any room can benefit from bass traps, particularly in the corners. In addition, broad band absorption (which usually needs to be at least 4 inches thick) is also helpful in most rooms. One of the goals is to have frequency balance in t... | |
| GIK, Rives, Real Traps My experience with GIK has been great. Great customer service and reasonable prices. I sent them pictures of my room, and their suggestions have been spot on. They were also very patient with all of my questions. The GIK room treatments have made ... | |
| Room Treatments for Maggies Dsper,Listen to Maplegrovemusic. Unlike a couple of posters on this thread who lack first-hand experience in their own room with treatments (Elizabeth and Rrog, correct me if I am wrong about that, but you previously have acknowledged that with yo... | |
| Vincent vs. Odyssey vs.? Power amp advice Pduff,I briefly had a Nova hooked up to my Magnepans, and it did not sound bad at all. I ended up getting a Peachtree iDecco (as preamp and DAC) and Emotiva UPA-2 for not much more than the Nova. I noticed a significant improvement with the Emotiv... | |

| Diffusers for magnepan speakers Hotmailjbc,When you say you have roomtunes in the corners of the room, are you referring to the Michael Green corner tunes -- that is, the triangle "pillows" that go in corners?If so, what is your experience with them as far as how much of an impr... | |
| Diffusers for magnepan speakers For building a skyline diffusor, you may want to check out gearslutz.com and go to the studio building and acoustics forum and the sub-forum for bass traps, acoustic panels, etc. There is alot of DIY info about all types of acoustical treatment, i... | |
| Most effective Room Treatment for slap echo, etc I have had very good results with GIK Acoustic products, which are reasonably priced. They also have great customer service. The GIK products have made a HUGE improvement in the sound of my system.I thought about the DIY route, but it is hard to b... | |
| Peachtree Decco 2 setup... There are a couple of buttons on the back of the Decco that toggle in and out -- one that is for jitter (narrow versus wide) and I believe the other is some type of filter slope.In my experience, setting the jitter button on the back to narrow sou... | |
| What can I do to upgrade my system? Thanks The best $400 I have spent for a noticable gain in sound quality was acoustic room treatments. Specifically, the 244 broadband absorption panels from GIK Acoustics. Other companies make similar products, I just happen to have had a very good exper... | |
| Optical to RCA converter Thanks, Bob and Arni.The toslink optical switch might be an inexpensive solution, assuming it does not noticeably degrade the sound. I will not be able to switch from the remote, but overall maybe a good solution. | |
| Optical to RCA converter Theo, I did hook the toslink from the tv to the iDecco and it sounds great. Tom, I do not have a surround sound processor. I am wondering if the DAC in my older Panasonic tv was just alot better than the DAC in this Gefen converter. In my old setu... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound DAC1 or DAC2? Devilboy,I am curious how you would compare the Minerva to the Nova. I realize that you said the Minerva obviously beats the Nova (which is what I would have expected), but I am interested in how much of a difference there really is -- fairly subt... | |
| New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it? Just to clarify, my music is in Apple Lossless. I have about 80GB of music (and gradually loading more) and so it all fits on the 160GB hard drive. (FYI, ATV Flash is a program/hack that allows you to add an external hard drive to the Apple TV if ... | |
| New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it? I have the 160GB Apple TV going into a Peachtree iDecco and love it. One of the concerns I have about the new Apple TV is the lack of a hard drive. When I first set it up, I synced a large library and immediately started listening. What I first he... |
