Rugs

Unread post by CN211276 »

We recently did some decorating and found that the rug in front of the speakers did not go with the new colour scheme, so a new one was required. The room was acoustically lively, therefore I decided on one which would cover a far greater area of the wooden floor. The result was a deadening of the sound to a greater extent than I expected. Prior to purchasing the new rug i found that the sound improved by activating a filter on the Qutest DAC. With the new rug I deactivated the filter and the sound improved a lot. Following the purchase of the rug and deactivation of the filter there is a noticeable subtle improvement over what i was hearing before. A worthwhile upgrade for £30. :)

I could add a 0 to the price and shill audiophile rugs on TAS. The shop down the road has plenty of them. :lol:

The big money will be in the Audiophile treated Hoover that keeps it sounding good, of course with a Black SR fuse in it - slurp, slurp, slurp.

Don't forget the acoustically-treated, specially-bred cat that lies on it. :grin:
