I have a actual foam factory show room within five miles. I'm going there within the next few days. If nobody has any better info I can give a comparsion when I return.

MM,
All acoustic foam performs about the same, and you can verify this by comparing the vendors specs. Not that the specs are accurate, because they're often overstated by quite a lot. But at least they're overstated by the same amount so you can still compare them.

Got my pack of 48 tiles from foambymail direct for $84 last fall. Great stuff, I've got no complaints. Ships vacuum-packed in a surprisingly tiny box.
Arlene's Foamtastic glue (looks like thick white glue, dries clear) works great on the stuff and can be found at most craft/sewing stores for $4 a bottle. Works great.

Oh, here's a photo of mine.
The foam is attached to 20"x40" masonite panels that are held to the wall with 2 standard wall anchors, so removal would only take a minute per panel with minimal patching - a hint for renters.
After I found that double-sticky carpet tape would only hold the foam for a few days, I used Arlene's Foamtastic glue (just a few sqiggle lines over each foam square area is neccesary; you don't have to cover the entire panel with glue.) No square has moved since I used the Arlenes.

I realize it's an old forum, but I thought I'd let some fellow budget-minded people know about this. I just ordered 48 square feet of their wedge foam for a mere 20 bucks (including shipping). Although I'm sure that this will not be the "be all end all" solution of cheap acoustical treatment, I figure any little bit will help and maybe some others might be interested as well. Depending on how it goes, I might order some of their corner bass traps. I'll let you know how the stuff turns out.
