  2. my fav DS too I remember going to this local record event just as COVID was becoming this "thing" that was going to blow over. 1.5m was more like 1.5-ft. MM was in every 2nd crate. but I couldn't deal with ppl so oblivious. Came to my senses about 6months ago and started looking for a cut of this. First thinking I'd bag a Japanese release on the cheap if I went for several items combined for shipping. Nut now... Even suspect for sale options are asking crazy $$
  3. and any single malts that may or may not be completely consumed?
  4. well then as host I'd reserve the right to swing by n make sure they have enough ice
  5. I was thinking something similar but from an AirBnB type perspective stay some place where instead of going for the pool, location, or pizza oven it's for a night-in staying up till the wee hours blasting tunes as the host there could be tax/commercial incentives to "invest" in some choice Gucci kit which of course you need to ensure is tested, operating, warmed up and ready for use
  6. i can neither confirm nor deny ever seeing the inside of one
  7. yeah I heard they flew some in to QLD. part of sending our neighbours a message
  8. i went with 2x layers of 10mm board with GG and these mounted on the clips and channels (vs directly onto studs), fluffy batts behind this. the ceiling and walls. I would consider that staggered stud approach if walls are being re-done where by every second stud is 10-20mm odd forward such that the plaster in one room does not share a stud with plaster from the adjacent room. This should cost no more than the tiny amount of room size you loose and is meant to be rather effective. I also suggest putting in fluffy insulation any spot you can even if nowhere near the sound room. it costs next to nothing and takes the edge off things (clunking dishes or road noise while some ones trying to sleep, etc.) Windows/glass doors i agree with advice ref double glazed windows and the need to go big to be effective. We went with glass 8 or 9mm thick vs typical 4-6mm (I think, if I recall correctly). It's 2 sheets of different thickness laminated together (looks just like normal glass and doesn't require any more work to the window/door frames). We used this on several rooms facing a busy road, it works surprising well, we wished we did more side windows with it as the road noise still creeps down the sides and in. There is also the option to add a noise focused tint-like layer later down the track. These wont necessarily block light. Also consider the awning style window where you wind the lower edge out. This creates a better seal vs types where the seal has to facilitate sliding. And (I tell myself with no tech backing) even when open to maximise airflow, offer a minimised obstruction free pathway in/out for noise. If a double door is not an option, get a solid core externally rated door system. Think what you typically have opening outside from the laundry. These systems have extra weather sealing and even a dropping seal solution along the bottom that combines with a raised 4in wide threshold under the closed door. I forgot this in the build contract and it's the weak/leak point into the rest of the house. As an interim solution I might screw that acoustic pin-board from Bunnings onto it. As stated avoid light and power fittings compromising the plaster. Consider the 32mm blocks on the switches so you can minimise the hole just for wires. Also don't have these fitting in adjacent rooms too close, the sound will go straight thru.
  9. https://www.escapademedia.com.au/titles/devolution-a-devo-theory/ just a trailer but I wished I'd got on to it when on ABC after a bit of digging I'm getting the "not in your country" from a few platforms
  10. you might struggle to get worthwhile soak below 100Hz without going +20-30cm thick. before taking it from the bag just prop it up in a corner or floor-wall edge to get a feel for any change, this where it's more effective to catch the bass. Of course going by "feel" or ear is going to be hit n miss vs taking an actual technical baseline measure... this will help ID want you should be focusing on and the effect of your tweaks. but hey if you just want to have a crack with the assumption that can get some worthwhile benefit because something is better than nothing, there's propably still merit in that you should also have the tech specs of your insulation handy particularly the gas flow resistivity then you can play around with this calculator. http://www.acousticmodelling.com/porous.php I've found digging round this site handy http://arqen.com/acoustics-101/room-setup-acoustic-treatment/#bass-trapping
  11. streamed this for date night in over the weekend some quirky twists and turns and moves along nicely. does well if you're after a gritty London fix.
  12. can i ask which VAFs they are? I've got DC-X63s
  13. under $1000 (USD i assume) is budget these days? I'm guessing pure o2 free copper is not an option?
  14. i think that would be my all out MM cart in the top 3 at least
  15. i don't think an AV receiver will do the VAF speakers you have in mind justice. you are going to get a lot of stereo amp recommendations. see how you go but even a $600-800 integrated amp with HT by-bass (even that's debatable) going 2nd hand here would be worth giving a go in the big scheme of things. even a yamaha wxa-50 (i have the pre-amp mxc-50 equivalent) which would slip into a Yamaha eco-system well
  16. i use them, not specifically under that IKEA board but i wouldn't exclude other solutions. if you have silicon handy nothing wrong with it. some people even use squash or racket balls cut in two! but maybe you don't have any of them laying round... a more serious but still cost effect option are vibrapods. I think these would be top of my list for your situation https://www.decibelhifi.com.au/vibrapod-isolator/ also for MVP there's bluetac which some fold swear by
  17. welcome and i hope you enjoy getting involved here
  18. just put in this order thru Reefer Records (ACT) John Williams (4) And The Boston Pops* - 1984 A Space Odyssey (J & B Records - JB177) Black Box - Ride On Time (Remix) 12", Single 1989 Joff Bush & The Bluey Music Team - Bluey The Album LP, Blu 2021
