RPG Modex™ Plate

That is hardcore!
Even at 1/12 very flat FR!
In contrast I was ordered to cover ours in some 'Sanderson' fabric to match some cushions!
I will post some photographs once I have figured out how to wrap fabric around perforated powder coat!
Still enjoying the Mola-Molas I hope, I really like them, and am looking forward to the new dac.

I love the Kaluga amps. They do it all in my system. It's really easy to forget they are there. I just leave them on all the time. Neutrality is not a sexy term. But when I'm trying to get my room and speakers to be as neutral as possible, it's really important that the gear is as neutral as possible.

The bass in my room is unheard by most. People who hear my system the first time are shocked with the bass. Bass is the final frontier!

Dallas,
Is the final graph with room correction? If not that is incredible!
 
Dallas-That's a boatload of room treatment you have there. I dare say you have more money invested in your room treatments than some people have in their entire systems. I also know you have invested a boatload of your time and money beating your room into submission with all sorts of DRC. Even though your system can only play digital source material, I would still love to hear what you have wrought with all of your hard work and the money you have invested in your room. It would be interesting to know if your idea of neutral translates to my idea of natural.
 
I could easily add a turntable to my setup. In fact, Rob Robinson of Pure Vinyl uses the Lynx Hilo to play vinyl at audio shows. I don't have any interest in vinyl at this time. I may want to do some transfers later when I get the Merging Hapi but that's not a top priority for me.

I prefer a neutral sound so I can just hear the music. I am from the school of thought that the music stands on its own and mastering/recording engineers' errors are always a mere fraction of the distortions the playback chain introduces.

You or anyone else is welcome over anytime. I live 10 minutes from DFW airport.

The problem is that we all can't agree on what "neutral" means in terms of audio reproduction because it means different things to different people. You are chasing digital perfection in your system and your room. All of your gear has great measurements and your room has great measurements. I just wonder how much soul is present in your idea of neutral and if your sound would fall on the cool side of the spectrum for me like other systems that I have heard that are white, bright, and full of light. And I'm not saying that your system/room would sound white, bright, and full of light because obviously I have never heard it. If I ever get a chance to travel to Dallas, I will contact you.
 
A flat frequency response just means that you are hearing the file,cd, vinyl as the artist intended, 'soul/emotion' is your response to the music,
I respect anyone who has gone to great lengths with respect to their listening room , IME rooms are sadly neglected whilst listeners are encouraged to purchase equipment which will not make any or very little difference to the sound quality.

So are you in the business of selling room treatments or audio equipment? I thought you were an audio dealer.

The two are inextricably linked, but if your point is that most dealers would purely prefer to sell you ever increasingly expensive boxes ,without consideration to the room, then I would agree.

Well said!
 
Great job, Michael.
I am sure the acoustic products improved the sound a lot.
Further more, my impression is that RPG is among the best out there (maybe the best?).

By the way, here is a video called acoustic panels effect.

I just checked your website: | Purite Audio and I see you only have "boxes" for sale and do not list any room treatments or services on your website.
 
MiniDSP, Trinnov and soon to be added Illusonic cover electronic room correction, we have just started to represent RPG and Spiers Robertson in terms of physical acoustic equipment.

I believe RPG makes the MODEX Plate in Germany under a license. The price is very high but it's totally worth it. RPG makes the best room treatment gear and have legit testing measurements to back their claims. The others also have some good products. I also have MSR Springtraps, some auralex t'fusors and a few prime acoustic corner traps I've modified. I'm not a fan of the bare fiberglass panel. However, fiberglass can be modified to be very good.

Room treatments can be tricky. I personally made a lot of mistakes years ago when I first started with treatments. Unless one is very knowledgable about room acoustics, I wouldn't start buying treatments without first consulting a pro acoustician. The first thing he or she will do is get room measurements and construction materials to build a model. After that, one needs to measure the room with a mic. Room treatments are also a little like speakers. You want to get the highest performing gear possible since the areas to treat are limited.

Looks like you have pretty much every square foot covered.
 
MEP,

I only treat the areas where treatment improves the performce. I only posted pix of the treatments because PACMAN wanted to see some RPG. So, there many other parts not treated.
