Ive spent 4 years measuring and treating my room. This week it was all taken out to decorate/paint. In the space of one day ive gone from a fantastic sounding room to an echo chamber :( Its horrible :( Like listening in a bathroom lol I didnt realise just how much I would miss it all.
I have experimented on my desktop system. I balanced a tall/skinny crystal chakra pyramid underneath a 3 3/4 inch bronze ‘singing’ bowl. It looks like a mushroom. I centered it and realize that the depth is affected when I adjust the distance between the speakers. It’s strengthen the central imaging. You’ve helped increase the greatness of my system more than anyone on UA-cam. Thank you and when my day comes, I’ll only look for you.
I like your opened mind to things even rubbish ones, there is always something to take from it. I have two brass mortars on the floor as decorative parts of my living room, I use them to hold the doors wide open, old stuff from my elders that I keep preciously and my grand sons love beating them to get these lovely ringings. But they aren't engineered for the hifi purpose 🤣🤣🤣🤣....what a joke really !
So as you listened to your rig after its installation, what are your thoughts? How much, if any, affects did you notice? Did the details improve, the mid bass, the high frequencies?
Thank you more sharing this. I have a novum pmr and it’s not snake oil. I swear by it. However, I do question the padded feet, since I would automatically assume that the sound absorption feet with the carbon fiber padding were intended to reduce resonance instead of amplifying the vibrations. Now I don’t have the padded feet you’ve got, so I can’t test it out on my novum disk. Do the feet with the carbon fiber padding really induce rather than reduce resonance? Seems counterintuitive, no?
@@OCDHIFiGuy Actually, I was thinking of my crazy audiophile friend in Seattle who has the most F.U. listening room you’ve ever seen. It looks like something out of Silence Of The Lambs but with a $100K+ stereo system. Socks and carpet scraps on the wall, speakers at different heights, 5 power conditioners plugged in together, junk everywhere…you would have instant PTSD just walking into the room. Everything is set up wrong but it sounds remarkably good...considering. Hey, if you’re ever in Seattle, I’ll introduce you and you can video record An Audiophile’s Journey Into Madness - Halloween Special. Guaranteed to go viral. 👹😈👺👻
@@chuckmaddison2924 It all depends on the timbre of the in room complex resonances. Brass alloy material has 'nice sounding' native resonances in conjunction with the 'shape resonances' of the bowl. This device will alter in room sound and in a good way according to the bowl tunings. Because physics 😎.
@ericmc6482 Back in high school, we did an experiment with resonance across a few desks with 2 tuning forks on boxes open at one end . Hit one fork and the other rang. So I can understand how it works. I've never seen before.
@@chuckmaddison2924 Yes ...and the shattering wine glass experiment etc. Simple (single frequency) resonances and complex resonances (multiple resonances with complex phase relationships) are fascinating subjects. Cymatics is a 2D representation of what goes in the 3D aether world. In a sound room there is a whole lot going on due to energies and fields interactions, Mikey's brass bowl puts a sonically 'nice' control element into 3D listening space.
Why would you want the equivalent of a bell in your room ? Some amplifier designers go to great lengths to avoid heatsink resonance which is why some vary the thickness or separation of the fins to mitigate any resonance and here you are putting it back into the room with this bell. Anyway on with the next gimmick :D LOL
@@OCDHIFiGuy Yes converts acoustic energy that excites it into mechanical energy which then reradiates it as acoustic energy in a narrowband. It has no inherent damping so most of the energy it absorbs gets re-reradiated with very little loss. For you to go on about minute enclosure resonances and then use this thing is not smart at all. Get rid of it !

Crazy !
love these videos! 🙌
Glad you like them!
Well.. I did ask about that. Thx for the explanation.
U bet.
Thanks! You just gave me a couple new experiments to play with.
Word up !

Have seen piece of this in one local hifi seller. Looks good too
Yeah, it is a pretty sculpture as well
Well done Mikey, you "manifested" it. You appear to be in tune with the laws of this universe!
Thanks Connor

Yes, well this actually IS engineered for the HiFi purpose...

Vocal acuity was improved. I'm keeping it.
Really interesting sir, thank you. It may also give some higher freq. resonances over the ear spectrum making music more alive ..
Interesting point.

Get it on, bang a gong, get it on.
Keith has left the building
Yessuh
Mikey, I thought it was a Leftover from the Gong Show! Repurposed of course for a Profit!😁✌️
Gene Gene!
That guy was a mess !! Lol
PMR - Passive Multi-Vocal Resonator.
Great !
Yeah - took me two whole seconds of Googling effort.
I would consider trading some audiophile-grade egg crates, carpet scraps, and old socks for your PMR MK2.
How many old socks ? Are they DNA socks ? How crispy ?

A friend had speakers and amp on top of an old upright piano with moth eaten damper felts.
The resultant in room sound wasn't pretty lol.
Lol. Talk about resonance
@@OCDHIFiGuy Yes, decays that never decay lol.
Sounds like my church bell
Totally. For whom the bell tolls.
Chasing the imaginary squirrels.
Have any idea how many millions have been made ?
@@OCDHIFiGuy No idea, how many ?.
@@OCDHIFiGuyhow many?
Please I want does NAT tube power amplifier but no space to put it. They should make small power amplifier
They do !!
Cryo treated ear plugs please.
No problem..$8,000 only for you and only right now.
@@OCDHIFiGuy Is that each lol ?.
Well the good news is I have the DirecTV satellite dish I no longer use. That will even sound better.
But it's too dirty for Pasta...
At least that will be parabolically shaped.
"What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Eleven. Exactly. One louder."
There it is...
Ridiculous, one minute we say resonance is bad next it's good and need.

It is a very confusing tweak. More like hifi twerking for $2,500!!
Whatever it takes!
