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

Post Subject: A year after closingPosted by Romy the Cat on: 3/1/2011

This is funny. I closed my house on March 16 and today is March first. It is lost a year passed and only now I begin to feel that my playback is back. The status “back” it means that al major problems are filtered out and I just turn playback on and ride it. My LP setups is all set, I did setup my reel machine and connected everything. I addressed all my need with furniture and made all system in the house to work as I would like them to be.
In the end my idea to have a good leaving room completely integrated with my playback installation but without having the room feels as it is some kind of dental office turned out to be implement perfectly. It is very relaxed living room and it is a good listening room, in fact if I built the house from scratch I would problem go for the same type configuration.

The major minor thing remains to find different lower bass. I said “minor” thing as my lower bass is not bad, in fact I do insist that it is very proper lower bass as I did set it up lately properly. I am very much not kidding – I do feel that my lower bass here is very fine. The people who read this site represent two groups – the people who read my site as the blabbing of another internet yahoo and those who know me personably and who actually did listen the results in my old room. The second group knows that there is very little BS in my assessments. Feel free to stop by and to listen how it is now, particularly I would like to listen and to talk about my current bass. It is very different and there is a LOT of room for discussion what my current bass is and what it is not. Despite that I insist that my currant bass is the PROPER bass I still would like to have slightly different, I have a feeling HOW it shell sound but I do not know at this point how to express it to myself in the format that I would be able to understand or implement. The things with bass will be continuing but without emergency of any kind.

I do appreciate your guys who stayed with me over all ordeals of my last year. It was educational, it was stimulating and I hope my observations were useful to someone who would go over the same. It is 9PM, I am in my chair with my cigar and my Koshka at my feet. During last Saturday trip to Boston to hear the horrible play of BSO of Mahler 9 I bought a very cool 5-CD box set “Original Masters” 1975-1972 Decca recordings of Leopold Stokowski. Playing them now – that is what I was dreaming when I put a big for this house… The only things I asked myself at this point is why I did not do what I did now back in 1996, when I moved to Boston.
