      It is very beautiful. This is the first time to watch your videos. Steely Dan was the draw. I liked what I heard. I do not know any better, but I have to ask, so please don't get too upset if I ask stupid questions.
      Is the cloud hanging from the ceiling wrapped in sound deadening fabric? Do I actually see a carpeted floor? Are the walls of the room covered with something that will absorb and prevent sound from bouncing around the room?
      Great video. Thank you.

      thanks for listening… the room was acoustically remodeled in 2017. I hired Bonnie Schnitta Ph.D. of SoundSense LLC (NYC) to do the modeling via her algorithms and we built to her specs. The goal was a warm, normal looking room with acoustics hidden behind fabric covered walls. Another goal was we wanted to keep the view out into the forest. there is a lot to go over. i plan to put together a video describing the build. the room was gutted to the studs so we had some constraints including the fact the room does not “close”. it is also not a full rectangle and there are niches in the walls not equal depths. it is definitely more muted than bare sheetrock walls but which provides a calm focused sound without losing all the reverberant queues. the space does not feel “dead” but there is no ringing from a hand clap either.

      Thank you. LED lighting sucks ass - trying to match lights to dimmer switches can really mess with your mind - I still have some lamps that “strobe” at random times. Then there is the whole color temperature (degrees kelvin) and color rendering index (CRI) to contend with. LEDs don’t really emit much light in the red part of the spectrum so when they dim they don’t get more “orange” like incandescent so when dim everything can take on a gastly cadaver gray. Yuk!

      The room, while beautiful itself, lends a big hand to that excellent sound quality. The drums seem "live", as though the drummer is there, in the flesh playing.
      Great "decay" giving that crisp yet rich texture to the music that was recorded so meticulously in the superior analog of yester-year.
      And your system, which I often refer to the components as a "rig", deserves more than a one-syllable slang term with which to describe therefore, I shall call it a "Hi-Fi entity" if I may.

      Thank you for the prompt reply. 👍
      The iPhone makes sense in regards to the quality & characteristics of the audio capture and is what I had assumed. The spectral balance and the somewhat diffuse imaging was a giveaway. But they do a decent job to give an overall general impression for sure.
      You can actually get very, VERY close to properly reproducing the in-room audio, even in regards to soundstage, imaging, and dynamics, as well as the spectral balance...IF you use the right equipment with the right microphone setup/technique. Unfortunately not too many people with systems and rooms like yours will invest the time or money to do so.
      And, of course, unless your listeners have an equally capable reproduction system, you are correct in that they will never fully reproduce your actual In-Room "experience" in regards to pressurization of the room/the tactile experience as well as aesthetics/mood/environment. But in regards to the spectral balance, imaging/soundstage, and dynamics, an "accurate" in-room recording is quite achievable.
      Did you get your dimming/flickering LED room lighting sorted? Dimming LEDs require a complicated/unique ballast circuit and very high-quality LEDs, as dimming is achieved by varying the "flicker" rate or Hertz/cycle rate of Each LED independently, and each individual R/G/B LED emitter is not linear...each one responds differently in a unique logarithmic fashion. And most LEDs have a very limited frequency "bandwidth" that they will operate within, unlike an incandescent/filament bulb.
      If you think of the ballast/dimmer in terms of an audio potentiometer (analog volume control pot), you need 3 individual potentiometers that each have a unique logarithmic "curve", but they must all track together from 0-100 perfectly. They are more like digital oscillators with a unique pre-programmed curve...akin to getting the phase to match between multiple drivers within their crossover regions, but doing it dynamically.
      ...Sorry for the detour, LOL. Enjoy the music.

    Curious - what are you using to record? Field recorder of some sort?

      No fancy recorder… just an iPhone 13 Pro Max. It seems to capture enough detail (although lowest octaves are not well represented) to give at least a hint of what the in-room experience is like.

    Get the new UHQR pressing of Gaucho. You will be happy and so will Chad.

      I have all the new UHQR Steely Dan. The Gaucho is not significantly better than the 33rpm 1/2 speed mastered MCA Audiophile pressing - maybe a wee bit here and there. One of the benefits of a 45 is less inner groove distortion but I have linear tracking air-bearing Vision tonearm on the VYGER turntable so isn’t a factor. I’m glad to have a new very great pressing in the 45.

    Nice room. Nice punchy low end. Top end is as muffled as my original pressing. Guess that was in the master. I'm going to come back to this in a few weeks once my sub has been commissioned and see how mine compares.

      @Rhapsody-Out-West  Місяць тому +1

      one of the goals when I had the room acoustically remodeled was to keep the view. the sound engineer said she can work with one reflective surface, so the glass does not impact the sonics negatively instead it was part of the design.

      there is no lack of a good stereo image. the curtains have a special acoustic liner. I don’t like the sound with the curtains drawn especially with dipoles, plus the room loses some sparkle and gets too damped.

    Dipoles are the only loudspeakers that sounds good on UA-cam sound demos. Probably due to far less side wall interactions.
