Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

When I come to listen somebody’s system then the first thing that I usually do is taking a possession of remote control explaining that I‘m a control freak and gently smiling…. In reality the thing are far from being so simple. The very first thing I care it to play an orchestral peace with cellos and violas group to pose the CD transport. The tempo with which music decays in the listening room when music is aborted instantaneously (electrically) is one of the most important ingredients that would be responsible for Sound in this room.

Without diving in the nuances of the RT60 tests, how to do them properly, how to interpret the results and, the most important - how to USE them I would like to recommend to audio people: learn to listen how your rooms decay in response to sound. If you look at this sufficiently enough and thoughtful enough, and if you correlate your observation with the type/topology of the acoustic systems "in use" then you might develop some very powerful observations.

In general: when you pose your CD transport your room should not go silent but Sound should very softly and gradually decay to a noise level. The softens, the length, the harmonic content of this decay should be the primary target of your interest and attention…
