Be carefull you dont get lost down there, even with the light on..
I used Joann Royal 3 fabric on my AT panels across the false wall and that stuff EATS light like nothing else. It's also AT and neither Kurt or I noticed any clipping of high frequencies. Once I get some eggcrate behind the screen and some diffusion panels on the side walls it will really take things up a notch.BTW- most any flat dark fabric will absorb light better than any black paint. One of the other reasons I'm excited about AT diffusion panels is that they will also eliminate any remaining side wall reflections.
I used it for my frame around my screen, and also on my soffit bass traps, but I was told it was AT for bass frequencys. Have you tried the breath test on it too?
the breath test is where I found it to be NOT AT
That is what I had thought too. I will have to see if I have a piece large enough to test on one of my surround channels.
To get a bit more into the topic, evolution of CRT ill show a pic of a few of the DACs/ converters i been testing, and modding in combination with different boards in the projector, just to get to where i am today.These are all Moome converters, that slide into the projector, most dual HDMI input. ( now who would not wish they had a replacable HDMI board in the digital projector..) Most of them for Marquee, and i build a adaptor to thest the SONY cards in the Marquee as well.
Do you feel you've solved that piece of the puzzle or are there further benefits to be gained? Those cards are finicky to say the least and improving their long term reliability would be ideal. Would be nice if Moome would just build something rated to pass 200mhz;-)
I have appreciation for CRT as I first got into home theater in late 1999. In early 2000 (Jan if I recall), my Dad bought a 61" Sony RPTV (4:3, 480i) and that's when it all started for me. I ended up buying a 57" Sony HD CRT RPTV (16:9, 1080i) in 2004 as it was the last model they made as they were being phased out, but I still remember those great blacks and analog looking image.I've never seen a CRT front projector, but glad I don't have to deal with that as ceiling mounting those beasts must have been crazy and not sure it could even be support in my current theater room where my JVC ceiling mounts from inside of my closet.
