Sounds great - so does Hey, Nineteen. That whole album is top notch, sound wise.

I plan on acid staining and urethaning my concrete floors, i personally like the look better than tiles....durability has yet to be determined

That will be beautiful, but very slippery when wet.

The speakers (KEF Blade 2) are designed so that all the drives act as a point source. Everything in the room was positioned with a fluke laser distance measure and the room was acoustically analyzed and designed by acoustician Jeff Hedback. When music is playing the speakers can't be localized. Sound seemingly develops far behind the front wall and outside the boundaries of the side walls. Instruments/vocalists exist in discrete areas of the sound field as if performers are standing in specific areas of the stage.

I'm lucky to be working with a friend in the audio business who happens to be a dealer for KEF, Theta and Aesthetix (along with some other great gear) I get to be a dentist in my real life and help him with his audio business in my spare time. I'm lucky to have Stereophile's product of the year (Blade 2) and one of the highest rated amplifiers Stereophile has reviewed (Theta Prometheus) along with the Aesthetix Pandora Eclipse in the room. The NOS Amperex and Mullard tubes in the DAC aren't hurting things either ;)

Sorry to the OP for being slightly OT. I regularly listen to music in a custom music room which has Wilson Alexandria XLF speakers and other audiophile dream equipment. Love your setup. Sending you a PM.

I'm really interested in going this route but I've always been concerned about how these tiles and their interaction with the use of jacks and jack stands. Seems like it might cause the Jack to not roll very well under load and would cause difficulty finding a level and solid surface for a stand to sit on. Is that a valid concern or no?

I haven't had any issues. I have some cheapo harbor freight jacks. Click to 6:00.

I actually don't have one at the moment, although my friend has built some of the nicest theaters in our area. Theta makes a great processor and he also works with DataSat. As a musician myself, I'd rather sit and listen to music than watch movies. Or play this thing, which is sitting downstairs...

Go with Swisstrax like Money. Do not do RaceDeck. I did Racedeck and the jack wheels indent the tiles and have not bounced back. Also RD looks like crap after only a few months. I have tried every cleaner I can and it just doesn't ever look like new. It is very dull, simple things like water spots don't come up easily etc etc.

The other issue with RD. Look at the edge in Money's garage. It is tight against the wall. Mine you have to have a 1/2 gap all the way around because it expands and contracts A LOT. I am talking from temps of 65 to 95, nothing crazy. If I installed mine like Money, which I did at first, the whole floor buckles.

Looked great the first day, now a couple months in, sucks.

^ and to Haku, fantastic!! would love to have a listen some time. I have poor old Magnepan 20.7 and Krell monos with AR front end. Babylon Sisters in 24bit does sound good i must admit. :rockon:

Dr. G 12-04-2015 11:10 AM

I've read the same about RaceDeck. When the time comes I'm going to use SwissTrax. Thanks for the confirmation.
