I've long admired Vacuum Tube Logic's line of amplifiers and preamplifiers. Owners <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/interviews/153">Luke Manley</A> and his wife <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/interviews/607vtl">Bea Lam</A> routinely appear at the Consumer Electronics and Home Entertainment shows with luxurious, microprocessor-controlled tube gear, soothing new music, good-sounding rooms, and a friendly, unhurried manner. Their show setups are dialed in so well that I often find myself taking refuge there, sitting and listening for hours with other <I>Stereophile</I> writers.

Home Office Visit/Signals-Superfi.com

Chris Sommovigo, owner of Signals-Superfi, the high end distributor/Importer of the Continuum turntable invited me to an Open House he was staging for the Atlanta Audio Society this Sunday afternoon from 2-5pm. It was most gracious of him to invite me and I was all to eager to accept.

Two listening rooms were set up. One was with a Manley SteelHead driving either Boulder monoblocks or a 10watt/ch David Berning tube amp.

Basic Guidelines for Acoustic Treatment

Please recommend tutorial articles that recommend some basic starting-point room acoustic treatments, for stereo music reproduction. I'm thinking of basic approaches like the "live end / dead end" treatment; opposite-wall treatment to tame slap-echo; area rug placed to absorb first-order reflection from speaker to listening position; using furniture to absorb reflected energy; using bookshelves to diffuse reflected sound. Different viewpoints on "how much absorption is ideal". Just the basics, before one purchases the expensive room-tube treatments.
