Real nice. Looks like a great listening space. Once again that AS2000 looks great. Is that a brass or bronze armboard holding the Primary Control arm?

Hi all,
I wanted to reach out to all whom I had the opportunity to meet in Munich. The joy, verve and passion of those in audio is such a wonder. Thankyou to everyone I was blessed enough to encounter. I wanted to add a couple of the most recent photos of my room including David K’s Nothing racks. The center rack and components weigh
over a ton. Sometimes building a system is like wondering in the wilderness. I made some expensive errors in modifying my room but recently I have encountered several possible solutions to my problem that do not require an entire rebuild.

Hello Billy, I am liking what I am seeing, congratulations on the room. Room Acoustics is a whole science in itself, some of it is low tech, most of it high tech. It is combining both element to solve each individual issue. And keep going, the small things make a big difference.
BTW have you any bigger photos? I wanted to share with my Spanish buddies.
What’s with the old style Conceros? The big boys didn’t arrive yet?
They will be shipping out next week. Rather than use the Airtight the old style Conceros are serving as a suitable replacement until they arrive
What's going on w Billy's room? Last I saw he had a great view out of acres of glass behind the Symphonias.
Hi
Yes, I had a lovely wall of glass with a pretty view of the yard and lots of light. Sadly, I followed the advise of an acoustics consultant(Sound Sense) and put in a ceiling that was theoretically going to allow the attic to act as a bass trap and provide carpet like absorption of mid and high frequency. After months of delicate construction and considerable cost, we discovered the ceiling made the acoustics very poor. They preferentially absorbed treble so 8,000hz and up rolled off strongly. Midrange was variable with 1,000hz peaks, 3,000hz valley etc. Bass boom around 150hz to 250 hz was unaffected-no bass trap.
When David K came to set up the turntable and racks, he suggested we add diffusion to the back wall to compensate. So my crew built the diffusion panels via David’s instruction that you see. It does sound better. Unfortunately I have this scenario of bad ceiling and massive compensation with diffusion. Sitting toward the back of the room is best. And my pretty open light space looks like a speaker testing facility. I am now deciding where I want to go with the room. Ughhhh.

Try removing half the panels, it shouldn't affect the sound much and you'll have a view too.

Hi Billy,
Nice to read that it is all coming together for you. Sorry that you are having additional room issues.
Regarding the room...”Stop Right There
” if you do not mind, I would suggest that you contact Jim Smith (Get Better Sound-Room Play) and have him come out to take look at your room...he’s the best and will help you separate the “noise” from all of the disparate suggestions. He will be the quickest real help on getting you a workable baseline and a solid solution mix.
Otherwise, it is sort of like a merry-go-round medicating cascading side effects.
Kind Regards,
Alan

Read what exactly? System video is not quiet at all so I assumed he hit the play button and didn't unmute it or turn the volume up on the video itself
Thats more specific. Tried playing through a device that is not connected to my FB account and I also get no audio. Will try downloading it if I can and post later
