no carpet

Unread post by guydarryl »

Usual Easter holiday:

Coving up and painted, walls painted, skirtings and doors glossed, carpet and underlay removed and taken down to the local refuse centre.

Thought that I would listen to a bit of music before hitting the pub for a game of boule :guiness;

Bloody hell :o Stevie Ray Vaughan, Texas Flood - in particular an instrumental, "Lenny" - almost had me in tears; tender, expressive. I could quite get used to no carpet and a bit of reverberation (more like a hall/live venue).

30' x 12 1/2' room, concrete floor, speakers facing down the length of the room. Never mind £500 special cables - tear up your carpets people :dance: :dance: :dance:
LP12, Ittok, DV10X5, Phono2(twin supply), P50SA , Art Audio Quintet, LS5, SSC, Rega Ela mk1
Sony cdp xb930, Alessandro ms1

I have carpet but given the choice again it would be wooden blocks and rugs.

Guy I have no carpets at all down stairs, its a mix of wooden laminate flooring and floor tiles (A god send owning twa big Dugs).... :clap:
I do believe music sounds better without carpets......True.

Carpets for improved Bass.
Laminate for improved Midrange.
Tiles for improved Treble.

I am working on and intend to patent a floor covering that by incorporating all three materials will vastly improve any systems sound quality.
Am struggling to come up with a name for my new invention though - Did think about "Cartilate"..........False.

:guiness; :lol:

I thought about £120 per mtr would be fair......

MCRU will sell them for you as long as he can double the price.
