    beer can diffuser

    Doesn't add up to me. But, to each his own "diffuser". Personally, I like my DIY stuff to WORK, which is not to say eye candy isn't nice, but if it's performance your after..well, I rest my case. Anyway, good luck..oh, and btw. I've drank my share of beer while working on mine too.:D But I...

    beer can diffuser

    A simple poly using a bent piece of 1/4" plywood will save you time and money. And it works. But if you chose to continue, why don't you MEASURE the diffusivity when you are done. This is where hindsight becomes 20/20. Acoustics Forum • View topic - Measuring Diffusivity [moved]

    Ceiling Trap Concept - What do you think?

    Hey miraslav, forget it. I'll just apologize and be done with it. Maybe this has something to do with my attitude. Trying to quit beer and cigs. ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR!

    Ceiling Trap Concept - What do you think?

    Whatever. I'm sorry you took offense to my reply's miraslav. Perhaps we are two different types of people. Defensive and touchy? That's odd. I offer up my own DIY experience via my studio all the time. They're not opinions. With regards to my own, they are fact. But I'll file your opinion...

    Ceiling Trap Concept - What do you think?

    Flustered? Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion. And yea, it was. And I gave you a legitimate answer. You said you hadn't seen me post pics in a couple of years. Well, I told you why. That doesn't make me "flustered". Me included. But that doesn't mean I build something just to build it...

    Ceiling Trap Concept - What do you think?

    How far along do YOU think I should be? Pastime? Keep out of trouble? Dude, I ain't got no goddamned pastime. And YOU don't know the meaning of trouble. Why do you think it's NOT done. And btw, when's the last time you took care of a 92 year old father with Alzhiemers, hmmm.:rolleyes: Ever...

    Ceiling Trap Concept - What do you think?

    Not if you use an electric knife. I got one at a thrift store for $2:D Reason is, I also have to make long precision 45degree cuts. The blade is long enough to cut 4" thick material at a 45degree angle and still have enough length to go through a a jig like a table saw/fence. That is...if I...

    Double-double glazed window for soundproofing?

    Actually, I just re-read your post, and some thoughts came to mind. Well, the key here is TOLERATION. At what point, SPL wise, is acceptable "noise" toleration by the neighbors. 30 db? 40db? 55db? And how loud does you son play? And how close are the neighbors in question? Have you ever...
