| Room treatment with acoustic panels @toddsyr any updates on your GIK treatments you'd like to share? It's been great dealing with Mike from GIK and I'm excited to finally order my panels! I had a difficult time choosing the fabric and colour as architecture and room ethetics are equ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados John Taylor's Rosslyn is another beauty. It's another emotionally subversive recording even more so with my Accuphase DC-1000 DAC. I'm hearing more depth and micro-nuances. Beautiful | |
| Jazz for aficionados Peter Erskine / John Taylor / Palle Danielsson – You Never Know What can I say other than it’s a beautiful album. It’s a masterpiece of piano trio jazz with a pristine ECM sound quality This album is emotionally submersive. | |
| LaScala speakers @rankaudio While I haven't heard the AL6 tri-amped, I was disappointed with the spkeaker with both a Class-A amplifier and a tube amplifier. Sure they dig deeper but at the cost of a bass that is focused and quick like the AL5. If I want more bas... | |
| Room treatment with acoustic panels It hasn't been easy choosing the right fabric and color. GIK offers great fabrics from Guilford of Maine and Camira. I'm torn between white clouds or brown clouds and have several color swatches on the way. Knowing me I'll get fed up and leave ev... | |
| Room treatment with acoustic panels https://photos.app.goo.gl/NB77XNwCQySenSCe9 I honestly can't figure out how to post a photo to a discussion. But I think this will work. GIK Amplitude bass traps 60hz and 100hz GIK ceiling panels 90hz with scatter plates Given the constraint... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fish Out Of Water - This is a beautiful album featuring Charles Lloyd with Bobo Stenson | |
| Room treatment with acoustic panels @tcutter I’m really not sure what was wrong with your post. It was informative. Regarding the info on uploading a photo I'm clearly not doing it right. | |
| LaScala speakers @kennyc definitely, and even just sitting in my room and looking at them! I'm now working on implementing acoustic room treatment and can't wait to how this will improve things yet agsin. | |
| LaScala speakers I always loved these spkrs but always felt that they were a little hollowish. Just recently however, I pulled the spkrs a further 4" from the front wall (now 23 inches from the back of the cabinet) and this completely transformed the sound. It fi... | |
| The streaming revolution. @gkelly Do you ever fantasize about taking the whole record store home? Lol I love your sense of humor and to your point, exactly, streaming opens the door to millions upon millions of artists and genres of music. And a great streamer with a ... | |
| Room treatment with acoustic panels Based on the advice from this community and GIK Acoustics' stellar reputation, I’ve completely rethinking my room’s acoustic treatment. While there are a few Canadian companies offering stylish felt box clouds and panels, GIK stands out as a true ... | |
| Speaker placement and soundstage Like others have pointed out speaker placement is never one-size-fits-all, and upgrading your gear can completely shift the dynamics. I loved my Klipsch LaScala AL5 speakers, but upgrading my Accuphase DC-37 DAC to the reference DC-1000 suddenly ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another stunning album: Marc Johnson's Swept Away. The Accuphase DC-1000 DAC is revealing layers in the music I never even knew existed. The album features a quartet of notable musicians - bassist Marc Johnson, pianist Eliane Elias, saxophonist J... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fred Hersch's The Surrounding Green boasts incredible micro-detail and 3D imaging. After pulling my Klipsch LaScala AL5 speakers another 4 inches out from the front wall this morning, everything the Accuphase DC-1000 is famous for suddenly clicked... |
