@tyray I just added the exterior pics. This is how the room evolved as it did.
Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

Hah! Interesting! I'm a structural draftsman (you red line my work You gotta tell me what interconnects you use? And it's ok, no worries about going off topic cause this is Audiogon and we're, I'm always looking for ways to improve my rig. About music streamers, I look at them as akin to turntables, but 2nd, 3rd or 4th digital iterations. I think that's why they are called transports also.

What do you mean? Your room is perfectly acoustically accurate to your settings. You have 4 symmetrical bass/sound traps centered on your ceiling, repurposed old rough pole barn beams affixed to the wall, rough cut firewood stacked in a recessed 4’ x 9’ wall pocket, a 10’ x 15’ rug in the center of the room, a almost full length wood wall panel, a wood sculpture on another wall and what people tend not to count as acoustic treatment, is the furniture in the room itself. Well done. @fire_water as I’m also in the construction industry, and I know how much time, work (and money) went into that ’isn’t acoustically accurate room’. |
@tyray you are insightful! You are correct about the elements in the room although the 4 box ceiling clouds and the Quadratic Residue Diffuser you see are actually 3D renderings of what I'm going to do. I wasn't sure about the size or the colors available so I incorporated them in a rendering. And I'm glad I did because the larger 32x64 clouds were too imposing and white didn't give that intimacy I'm striving for. But the fire wood and the stacked 250 yr old beams that divide the music room from my home gym do provide diffusion. It's now just a matter of time before I order these box clouds. |
@rok2id yes Sketches of Spain' by Miles Davis! Thanks for reminding me |
