Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

[Joe Mac]

I mean I’ll be lucky to make the very humble upgrades I want to make. I don’t think the wife is gonna sign on for a Reno and treatments are one million percent not an option. Hell I can’t get her and the kid out of the house without me for long enough to set up the room correction.

Oh yeah totally. And I don’t blame her, treatments are fugly and you can do wonders with the right gear and positioning. A full renovation also for that seems excessive too.

I wouldn’t ever use treatments and probably wouldn’t retrofit an existing house or room but say I was building a new house or extending for a garden listening room I might have a think about what it was being made of to maximise the acoustic properties. Not at the expense of the aesthetics and experience of using the room though.

I think doing it intentionally during build is probably the best way. Which is what is so infuriating about New Record Day’s approach when he built a fucking listening room separate from his house. Like why didn’t you just have it built that way? Fool! and since it’s his fucking job, I’m sure he got a nice tax write off.

Added a cheap side light. Mr Turkey may be relocating soon.

Might have been the advice from his tax accountant!

Kind of an artsy pic I thought is worth sharing.
There's a clock going up next

It's (audio) is fun, ain't it? Looking at pictures of my systems from over the years always brings smiles and fond memories of musical moments and friends.

There's a funny story about the light.

I bought it from a guy in Italy on fleabay a few months before covid hit.
The light didn't work and the seller was pretty crappy with caring about it.

I sent it back and forgot about it. Like 18 months later it shows back up on my doorstep.
The packaging I put it in in 2020 was hanging on by a thread with some postal tape and marked undeliverable.

So I named this turkey Wilson.

The new piece is in place.
Wilson is in the corner now.

Look I have a smallish feature wall over the cleaning station now:

That's a good base to build around
