Re: Silk vs. Burlap for covering DIY tube traps?

Jon,

Thanks for your input and the url references. I read both articles. Good information. I am not sure I completely buy the ¼” makes a difference in focusing the traps but I am ready to be proved wrong. A few years ago, I didn’t believe that better power cords, interconnects, speaker cables, isolation devices, etc., would do much to improve the sound quality of my system. But, they have provided a significant improvement and I enjoy music much more because of it.

Many of the changes to my system began as proof-of-concept DIY projects to confirm that room for improvement existed from the change I was investigating. Power cords are my best example of this. I started out with a couple of Pass & Seymour plugs, Marinco IECs, and some Home Depot 10/3 SO. Now my system is populated with a combination of my own cords with audio grade ends and some commercial cords. The Knauf traps are my first venture into room tuning and may be the beginning of the same type of journey.

Do you have any suggestions to make the Knauf traps perform better? Would filling the tubes with additional materials help?

BTW, I have a pair of Martin Logan requests. Are there different rules for tube traps with electrostats?

Bill
