In the Thread: Romy The Cat's new Listening Room

Post Subject: The first take on the new room.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/3/2010

This weekend I was unpacking. I had a change to give to my new listening room a first early run. I was re-strategizing how the room will be setup and moved equipment in the room. My initial planning was fine and the equipment was fitting in the room perfectly. Macondo as is turned to be a wonderful size for the room. The listening distance is very flexible. The rack, in fact racks, with gear has a good stop and very non prominent in the listening space. I have a wonderful space for records, CD, Records cleaning etc - In other word – truly perfect.

Acoustically the room looks like pays off my entire long search. It surely too early to say anything defiantly but I have played my insertion channels full range and it was nice. I mean - try to listen any just painted room with nothing in it and bare walls. It will be reverberated and bright. My room with absolutely nothing in it is has not a lot of HF problems and it is very subdued. My notion to fight with first reflections by means of real-estate does work marvelously.

So far I am very happy. The only problems that I experience now are the problems of different type. For instance I hate the fact that it takes sometime 15-30 minutes to find my Cat in my home. I hope I will get use to it. The big problem is that the listening room looks on reservation land and there are some very mean birds in there. At nigh they sound like car alarm – very annoying. I have discovered that when I flip the pool light then the birds shut up for a minute but then they do it again. Probably I would need to consult ornithologists to deal with the birds. I hate to see myself on the roof with falcon scaring the local birds in order to play some tunes… The local folks tell me that I am a nerdy idiot and that I will get accustom to the birds. Well, will see…
