Very impressive!
Thanks for sharing…
I would be proud to have that and you should feel that way too. Everything is great
I'm happy that YOU are happy! You can spend that kind of money on any number of situations in life (that are necessary), but don't make you happy.
Congratulations on accomplishing your goal! This is an excellent space you've created. I appreciate you sharing the details. Enjoy!
All of the Tone Poet stuff sounds amazingly natural, at least imo. If one goes from listening to a typical overly processed, layered type modern recording to listening to most any of the Tone Poet stuff - one after the other - it can literally be a jolting experience. I totally get why you're collecting them.
What a journey! Awesome!
Fantastic!!!!
I just finished my recording and mixing room earlier this year. I've been an audio nerd for decades, but never really heard what well planned acoustic treatment can do for the sound. I think it's not just money well spent, but critical for critical listening. It doesn't have to cost all that much either if you have the time to build the panels yourself.
P.S. I love those WE757A's, would love to own if not at least hear a pair (or even one) of those someday! I can only imagine the amount of time and luck it took to come across that beautiful pair.
Great job Mark!
Come on over with Jerimiah sometime.
@@Blueglow Would love to. Thank you
I bet this sounds incredible!
Amazing. Seems like a reasonable cost for what it is. Thanks for including us!
Thank you for your time on this in-depth acoustic treatment walk around. Your room looks outstanding by the way; I've been thinking about doing a version of this n my home as well.
Wow! What great taste in audio you have
Cool.
Fun House🔥👌🏼
Nice Job….. 👌
Verify/Tune with REW and UMIK.
I have been looking at the UMIK-1 from miniDSP. During the setup, I used an audio analyzer set from RTA on my ipad with a calibrated microphone from Dayton. I thought it did a good job but the UMIK & REW seems to be a step up, I will order and report back.
@@Blueglow
Cool. Shipping is a bit steep but it comes direct from Korea IIRC. If you buy used make sure it has the serial number so you can get the calibration file.
I'd love the the Quad ESL 57 in a room like that, I don't the space to set mine up perfectly, but I still enjoy them a lot.
We have a set but haven't put them in the room yet. Stay tuned, one day.
I love to hear the music of blue note series out of your speakers. Do you use also the DIY KT88 amp?
So..... You have never tried Auralex Acoustics? Seems GIK doesn't make a material to keep sound from escaping a space? Auralex Acoustics manufactures a product called SheetBlok™Sound Barrier which is considered dense as lead, and almost as physically heavy too! ;)
Super nice layout, congrats! Looks like the K-horn in the corner on the left might be partially blocking your A/C return . . . not sure if that's good for your A/C unit.
Its a little bit of an optical illusion, its all open. But thanks for noticing.
Nice Uesugi Ken amps there..
its a custom build type 50, best amp out of the hundreds I've owned in my life.
@@Blueglow Congrats on the purchase! I have a pair of RCA 50’s too in ST19 bottles.. I hope I could put them to use one day..
Maybe you could do a vid featuring the amps sometime. I am subscribed to Uesugi Ken channel - interested in what your experience working with him was like.
Slowly over time, I probably have 12 of Ken's amps.

That’s a lot of treatment. Did GIK explain WHY they recommended each piece? How did they/you know it was all needed and the difference it would make?
yes they did
@@Blueglow Will you share that info?
I walked thru some of it in the video but if I can find time soon, I'll do a little video update. You can read the product description on most of the items and get 90% of it.
@@TR3A
just looked, its spread across about 20 emails back and forth with GIK. I'll try to synthesize in a video sometime@@TR3A
@@Blueglow Thank-you. I need to add treatments to my listening room (hopefully on a smaller scale) and would find that very interesting.
Mid-century modern…?
look like tannoys
Wait did I miss something? Would you spend thousands of dollars on amp upgrades and not take measurements? Where are the REW measurements? Otherwise, this just seems like a paid GIK advertisement. You know we like measurements!!
THIS IS NOT WHAT I LIKED AND SUBRIBED TO STOP SENDING !!!!
well, if you stay subscribed, there will be much more of this...
Well… sorry to hear that, but this is as appropriate to audio as any content.
