You might want to consider hanging a triangular sail up in ceiling, an often overlooked large reflective flat expanse, I threatened this in our lounge and even though I gave a list of aesthetic and artistic reasons SWMBO firmly put her foot down and waggled her finger and head at me. I think I was pushing my luck a bit.
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner
Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive
Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp
Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones
Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links
I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
Looks a very nice 'den'. Like the rack.
The thought did cross my mind, will any future owner spend ages converting it back into a garage?
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
As Glen already has some acoustic insulation my offer is now open to other members. Namely, an unopened pack of Rockwell acoustic insulation. The pack contains 4 blocks, each 100mm thick and measuring 1200mm x 600mm. The 100mm version is the sweet spot for acoustic panels, and 1200mm x 600 mm a good sized acoustic panel.
Free to anyone who can collect from Warsop in North Notts (on the edge of Sherwood Forest).
So after a busy afternoon.. proper bass traps!
very tidy.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
I actually used three pieces of arris rail, I think they call it, as it's cut in a triangle shape. With a board top and bottom. Then some RWA45 insulation I had spare. Wrapped in burlap/Hessian.
It's certainly tamed any tendency to boom. The bass seems fully controlled. With some test tracks I don't feel the need to turn it down at all, which is a good thing I suppose.
Very nice job Glen, looks very professional.

At the insistence (yeah right!) Of my daughter, I 'had' to buy a TV for the room. A nice 65" Panasonic OLED fit the bill nicely. I have to say the picture quality from 4k and Standard Blu-Ray is astonishing.
