I’m agree, hifi is hobby and all hobby have intricate parts that are pleasurable. I hear difference when I bought extra shelf to raise burndy from floor. Not imagination but a real difference in clear music. I don’t understanding why some people get upset about what other people doing! but this is life maybe. best. Jamu
I think like most tweaks, its room and system dependent. If your floor is acoustically dead and your speakers roll off at 45Hz, you may not notice much difference getting cables off the floor. If your floor buzzes along with the music and your speakers are putting out 20Hz, there is likely to be more benefit.
I find cable dressing one of those things you notice over time because something doesn’t sound quite right, rather than noticing an obvious problem the moment a cable touches the floor/wall.
All Naim cable upgrades (PL, HL & SL) are mechanically decoupled to prevent vibration reaching equipment via the cables. Standard cables don’t have any decoupling which would seem to say Naim are happy that things will work fine with a little vibration but will be better if you can avoid it.
I wonder if there are technical reasons there isn’t a decoupled Burndy upgrade available, since this seems to be the cable many people find particularly sensitive.
All the acoustic treatments I tried, 3 different models , monster bass traps, corner bass traps and another model I don’t remember, had NO POSITIVE effect for my tastes.
I spend a lot of time, tried all the places possible in my room.
If on some aspects the sound improved on Hifi criterias, globally I didn’t liked the effect. It sucked some life and airiness from the system.
I am not the only one to think that, but unfortunately you state that indefinitely as an universal solution for all .
It works for you, not for me. And please, don’t respond me that I like room reflexions. I have finite elemente cerabases under speakers which were the most effective in my room. As the choice of speakers which work well in my room.
Only one panel in a corner is left, because it has a positive effect.
I’m not questioning how your room sounds, obviously. It’s your room.
I’m not questioning your taste, whatsoever.
And I’m not saying you should use acoustic treatment.
Relax FR…
I simply stated two corrections :
windows aren’t more “problematic” then common walls.
your room, like any other room, has acoustic issues (and that’s pretty normal).
“
You can be in a room that has a lot of wood, you could be in a room that has a lot of carpeting, you could be in a room that has a lot of windows. Each has its own distinct sound, even though they’re the same size room and the sound sources are the same in each room, they will all three sound differently. What is the difference between the three rooms? Materials. Materials that the room is made out of. So, that said, windows and glass are the worst sound you could ever imagine to bounce any sound energy of (them). So reflections from window surfaces have to be treated.”
