Forget Expensive Gel Absorbers

It's always fun, and sometimes a little disconcerting, to find tweaks at a fraction of the price that is charged for the identical "audio" version. Blu-Tak is another example: you can buy essentially the same product for less at OfficeMax or Office Depot, where it's marketed as stuff to stick posters to the wall.

Yes the so called "brotherhood" of audiophiles apparently ends when the manufacturers/dealers need gas for their Mercedes. $100 for $1 worth of product? No problem! There are plenty of suckers to go around! Keep shoveling! Alright, I know I sound bitter (but the above is still true). Anyway, thanks goodness for this site so we can "come together" (thanks John) and share our discoveries. Here's one: Go to the "musician's friend" website to find inexpensive foam treatment for your walls.
Apparently, musicians playing at full volume, can make do with panels costing 50% less than us peabrains er, audiofools uh, -philes happily pay. Rock on..
