Robert, I solve all these problems every day just by putting on
headphones. That's my free tweak. :-)


Robert should know by now that simply absorbing reflected sound is not
always going to solve problems, there are other ways to and means to solve
problems through the use of diffusers.

Sorry, but to listen only through headphones seems a complete waste, since
IME they never give you the same sense of space and ambience that speakers
can.

That's interesting. Because listening through headphones is the closest
approximation of being "live in studio" that there is. Much less acoustic
distortion, much more clarity of the sound in the live space.

It does remove a number of traditional problems like room interaction,
airborne vibration etc. Phones are also an easier, less reactive load
for the amp. To call listening through quality headphones "a complete
waste" is of course nonsense. And as for space and ambience, good
phones can certainly provide that. Nope, you're wrong, Mike, and
not--dare I suggest?--for the first time.
