Build My Own Room Treatments

Millercarbon
Wow!  Thank you for the step by step description of how to go about setting up room treatments.  It was very clear and I am looking forward to doing this. 
I remember reading guys talking about how expesive it was to buy room treatments.  I think I can handle making a frame that can house the material you suggested.  Heck, I even came up with a great idea how to my wife involved with selecting the cover material (porous of course).  I can probably use it gain agreement on my next targeted audio acquisition!!.   
I seriously appreciate your taking the time to lay all of this out for me to follow.  I was particularly blown away by your set up - long ago.  Most impressive.  You have been a serious "contenda" for a long time.

BTW - I'm liking my Hyperian MK II cartridge.  Thank you for that referral.

Thanks for the response. I will check out the reference you have referred me to.  This should be a fun project.  Heck, I just thought of how I can get my wife involved in helping to pick the cover fabric (once I get there).  Understand, that is a very strategic move that has future value :))

Nice to know who you would buy from in the event this turns out to be a project that is taking too long.  Thank you also for your experiences.

Thank you Dsper for your input.  A nice valuable tip on who I can enlist to cut those frames!  
audiophilenm - thank you for the lengthy response.  There is a lot of wisdom from someone who has a lot of experience with with absorption and disbursement of sound.
I've already ordered some Owens Corning acoustic panels that should arrive any day.  That will take care of some of the absorption.  I look forward to experimenting with them and see what positive differences I can create by proper placement.  Then, get into the aesthetic covering once that is established.
Chuck Miller - thanks again for that link you shared.  Great stuff in there!
This is a great site, with great people.  One day I hope to be able to  share my experiences with novices like myself to help them along as many of you have done with me.  Many thanks to those not specifically mentioned too.

I received my Owens Corning in the mail today.  I placed a few of the large rectangles around the room in spots I thought would make a difference.  I'll be damned!  I have been listening to a slight echo for 13 years and didn't realize it. the Corning pieces eliminated the reverb or echo, whatever you want to call it.  I am able to turn up the volume and hear a purer sound.  I am amazed!  This is like getting a new sound system!
Thank you all for your suggestions and guidance!!
