Here you go Philippe :

Stereo et Image, Sept 2010 :



This is why I like HiFi journals : discovering some tricks.
You'll notice that these are Ikea pillows and the gentleman did not even remove the bar code tags
Here is a comment from Jean Hiraga : " Au plafond, au centre et dans l'axe longitudinal, des coussins réduisent les reflexions croisées, néfastes à la qualité du relief stéreophonique. Un traitement simple mais efficace"
"A simple yet efficient treatment".
I could not agree more. They are great absorbers.

Merci Jérôme
do you obtained the same effect in your room: improvement of the stereophonic effect? How would you describe the improvement?

Philippe,
We should talk by phone on this subject because there are so many improvements I can't write down all of them. But yes, the stereo image improved a LOT !

ROOM TREATMENT IN MY ROOM !!!
After all these years, I have decided that my gear deserves a better acoustic.
Work is in progress and the room is already sounding much better !
More pics to follow....

Nice Jerome
I never saw all your equipment in one wide angle shot
I agree with Ivan. I find that a nice piece of jewelry works like a charm to put a smile on my wife's face.

Thank you David !
My problem is that my wife buys her jewels by herself and usually does not like what I buy her !

Jerome, you can buy bevel edged acoustic panels in the color (or close) to your existing walls. When mounted they almost disappear, especially on ceilings. I love whimsy, but you may find panels designed for the job to be more effective. Also, a couple of tube traps (ASC) or corner cubes (GIK) will also do wonders for bass, the stereo image, and mid-range clarity.

Remember, ART panels (GIK) can have pictures of the kids on them.

Randy,

I know that there are aesthetic solutions to room tratment and I know that I have been a bit lazy by selecting pillows instead of panels.
I just don't want to take the time to choose and install all the Art panels I would need in my room. Set up of pannels on inclined walls is not very easy, even if it is not too complicated and I have fun selecting and placing pillows.
Moreover, I own 6 GIK panels and among them I have 2 very thick ones ( for bass absorption ) and 2 art panels. Honestly, when you send a bass signal to a thick pillow and place your ears behind the pillow, you can hear how much it absorbs the sound.
Pillows have an other big advantage : because of their small size, they create diffusion too on the surfaces between them.
Audio is just a hobby for me.
I take measures all the time during my work so I'm not ready to take measures in my audio room : but my ears don't lie to me. Pillows are extremely effective. I don't say that they are aesthetic. I know that many people here will find this awful (and my wife found this too but now she is getting used to them) but really.....I don't care !

Jerome, I respect that view fully.
