@calvinj I hung the cloud below my PJ, this is a shot looking up through them from below, you can see my VOG speakers on the ceiling, the Auralex Geofusors above the MLP (backfilled with polyfill so the double as bass traps) and then some absorp...

@calvinj Re: your vaulted ceilings, you might find an "acoustic cloud" solution. You can get one from Auralex that is an absorber (best used in front of the MLP: and the pic you see in my virtual system is a cloud made from Acoustic Lens diff... 
All-In-One (NAD C-658) vs NODE N130 with Separate DAC and Headphone Amp
I own a Node and have not auditioned the C-658. Anything that can improve your room acoustics is a plus, I think the upgrade to dirac (and a few room treatments) would be HUGE.

So I have been posting about the new atmos music format and of course members who have never heard the format in their own room are quick to comment. Do you think they love it if they never heard it? LOL. Their seems to be an endless resource of b... 
Interesting videos about sounds and music
@bdp24 The dense orchestration and vocal harmonies---along with the somewhat poor recorded sound quality---of The Beach Boy’s recording of the song prevent one from fully hearing and appreciating the very sophisticated composition of the song N...

There is an entire part of this website devoted to systems. A guy posts something smart maybe you can learn something from how he curated his system. Don’t you think he can say no if he isn’t comfortable? https://www.audiogon.com/systems

@calvinj If you place high end well built and designed gear in a really great room and acoustic environment it sounds like heaven. +1 However all of us don’t have the perfect listening environments but a lot of us can still get great sound. I...

@nevada_matt  Adding even a few well placed and sized panels increased my enjoyment of my current setup for far less than any $5000 power cable, $3000 usb cable, $10000 set of speaker wires or $500 fuse ever could.  That is the most well kept se...

@calvinj I do have an amp that will perform better in a bad room than 99% of the amps out there, its a Martin Logan amp (a speaker company I know) and its called the Forte. Martin Logans parent company is Anthem. It is selling for 60% off right ...

@tonydennison @calvinj systems, blows your stuff away for sure. Great, I’m happy if he’s happy, more power to him. He’s got a great story, being in the right place at the right time and then migrating into the business. He built what he wanted,...

@designsfx +1, indeed your room looks good, I tip my hat to your designer. There’s a reason why the worlds most renown equipment designers create their own products and charge more for it. This is a VERY interesting point, I also tip my hat to...
