Author Topic: Take A Look At The Audio Barn Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-08-2006 03:52 PM                     This guy seems to have a little pocket change and has invested in a nice Hi-Fi system and a few CD's and LP's to go with it...... This guy makes MOST stereo Shops look bad!

Note the "special" and I'm sure very expensive power cables. Just what kind of wireing does this guy think is in his walls, and all the way back to the power company? Does he realy think that short piece of cable is going to make any difference? And what about the standoffs keeping wires from laying on the WOOD floor? I would love to hear the reasoning behind those. Does anyone know this guy's address, I'm sure that I could come up with some silly worthless empty box that I can tell him will improve his system, and sell it to him for mega-bucks.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-08-2006 07:24 PM                        Hardwood floors enhance ANY audio room! The echo and reverberation are good things.  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-08-2006 07:33 PM                     But why does he need those standoffs keeping the wire off the floor? Wood should not have any effect on signal flow through a wire. (that was my point, I guess I was not very clear)  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-08-2006 07:44 PM                     What an idiot! Too funny for words. If only the guy would've used KIMBER CABLE, then he could've set up the system in an unaltered barn and not had to do any of this. (For the brain dead, yes I'm joking about the Kimber cable...no I am not joking about the idiot part which has already been explained above.)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-08-2006 07:49 PM                     quote: Bruce Hansen But why does he need those standoffs keeping the wire off the floor? To keep that 700.00 a foot wire from getting sucked up in the vacuum . Joe, Actually if you click on the link at the bottom of the photos you will see why he has the wood diffusers and wood floor. Its actually a very well designed room from an acoustial standpoint. He probably has as much $$ in the acoustical treatment as he does in his gear. I guess you've never been in a real recording studio or dubbing stage..... nor are you familiar with LEDE. . Brad, Who knows... this guy could be president of BMG or something like that in which case the off the deep end system can certainly be justified.... If he saw photos of your screening room he might think the same way you do about him..... Everyone has different interests and needs.

Also, the source material (discs. CD & all) was almost certainly NOT made with high=end cable. Slumming is tough! Louis  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-08-2006 10:47 PM                        What a mastubatory maroon. Doesn't look like much of a LEDE implementation to me either. Speakers on a hard floor surface are unacceptable in a proper LEDE room. Married 30 years? Yeah, right. A needle-dicked poser and a loser, the kind of audiophobe that gives audiophiles their deserved reputation. Somebody send him over to The Man With The Scary Eyes pushing The System That Cannot Be Named.  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 03-08-2006 11:00 PM                     Oh please that doesn't stand a chance to Joe's THX System  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-08-2006 11:21 PM                        I think it's significant that he only has ONE chair in his listening room. Probably doesn't allow the wife in there. (If in fact he really has a wife.)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-08-2006 11:26 PM                     quote: Paul Mayer Speakers on a hard floor surface are unacceptable in a proper LEDE Not that I am sticking up for this dweeb but I didn't mention that it WAS a LEDE implemantation... It is hardly that and far from it. I could just tell that Joe had never heard of it nor would he understand the use of hardwoord floors in studios by his reply. Based on the fact that all of the better studios I've ever been in generally have Teak hardwood floors I think the overall acoustics in that "Barn" would make a great recording studio but not a very good listening room..... But in all fairness, I know people that are worth Multi- Millions that have sucky theatres but COULD have the best and still don't because they rely on those with no brains to design them.

I guess everytime I listen to music with the lights on, I'm not too serious about it, huh. Ok, so almost everyone is nicely bashing this guy, but I'd trade him my shitty TEAC turntable for his any day!  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 03-09-2006 01:44 AM                     quote: If only the guy would've used KIMBER CABLE, then he could've set up the system in an unaltered barn and not had to do any of this. [Razz] No way. Kimber is too cheap to work miracles like that. This is what you use to impress the ladies...
