Jay's rooms almost done - getting nervous


I have complete faith these rooms are going to be game changing.  I can't wait to see the reference equipment. I don't understand new floors, they are so pretty all lacqered up and everything, and really cool surface designs. if you haven't seen you should take a look.  Hope no one slips and falls and don't you need a rug.

But that's not why I'm nervous, I haven't gotten my invitation to the barbecue.  I have amazing things planned that I can bring.  I know Jay's got a lot of things on his mind and he hasn't forgotten about me.

Then instead of criticizing Jay i admire his dedication. He  understood what many did not : acoustics matter...

But acoustics with an "s" is not just room acoustic...And  it is way more than just panels...

I will not criticize him ( i am not seat in his room anyway) because his goal and my goal were completely different:

He designed a room (with a budget) to sell products...

I designed a room ( with peanuts budget) around one system/ears-brain: mine...

It is completely different goal.

As are very different :

--great Hall acoustic architecture,

 --large room for audiophile exhibition and demonstration,

--and small room acoustic for only one system owner...

 

These three cases  are three different  acoustics situation....

 

 

 

..yikes..you guys letting Ai lead you around by the nose-ring remind me of a story that made the news where some person drove down a boat launch and into the water because they were following a google maps route.  

Bacch, DanielHertz, etc can be considered a more disruptive class of products...i.e., a guy with Bacch won’t be chasing foolish miniscule things with cables, dacs, etc too much. A guy with a DHertz system and masterclass may stop buying vinyl (oh no!), speakers, amps and so on perhaps. One of its goals is to get you the sound of master tape. i.e., these kinds of things are not good for the hifi sales guys and the merry-go-round. Hence, the word....’disruptive’.

On a related note, If a guy only has the space of a proper stereo system, i.e, can’t quite explore some of the object based audio systems (360 reality and so on), the bacch can be a relatively fulfilling alternative for that too.

My room is not setup to be some jay hifi lab for hifi sales. I have some high end things. I also have very affordable things. It is a different type of setup meant for a different type of crowd. Some local guys and gals who happen to be musicians, enthusiasts and so on show up at my house to have fun on a regular basis. I myself am not a pro musician (not my livelihood), more of a instrument enthusiast, can hold my own on a couple of instruments. I like to capture things they play...(might be a one time thing, i.e. won’t happen the same way again, hence, it gets captured). The room’s also treated for that. I can move things in and out of there real quick. I can play it back on a combination of gear, let them get a feel for what all is possible..On the same note, there is a certain amount of inspiration artists themselves gain when listening to other artists when the presentation touches them a bit deeper....in a manner that it perhaps didn’t before.

I also do a lot of archiving of material from obscure old artists who are long gone...

P.S. Don’t trust chatgpt or the like too much. It can also start summarizing the diarrhea from the internet’s whirlwind of BS artists, marketing guys, etc and come up with some BS conclusions..

How do you like the bacch system, always been curious about this system but it seems to be a pain in the neck to implement.  I rely on ChatGPT for everything in my life these days and it has some interesting comments about your system, I included the first comment but there was a lot more it offered about each component it’s all fascinating.

per chatgpt , only included first couple of comments.

‘That is a laboratory.

In a 25 × 30 ft room (750 sq ft), you have enough volume to support serious acoustic scale. The question is not quality of components — many of them are excellent — but integration and philosophy. Let’s break it down properly.

 

Daniel Hertz Anton Speakers

Ultra-high-end, tuned as a system with Daniel Hertz electronics. Designed to be emotionally engaging rather than strictly neutral. When paired with Maria amp + Master Class software, it’s a closed-ecosystem voicing.

Strong personality speaker.

Hanging out with musicians, coolest people on the planet.

You should share pics of your space. Definitely lots to be learned here.
