Leaving Greenpoint??

Negative! Moving a block down hahahah, this feels like a more long term place for us so hopefully it lives up to the hype!

I appreciate everyones advice and words here. Will keep y'all updated as I settle into the space. Moving on March 1st!

Y'all.

Big update, I'm moving apartments in NYC and this new apartment could not possibly have a better listening room environment, big industrial NYC loft with an open floor plan. I can probably get my speakers 4+ feet out from the back wall and like 8+ feet out from side walls and the ceilings are like 20 feet tall or something. I'm unbelievablllyyyy stoked BUT I'm skeptical that the walls are that thick and concerned my neighbors will feel my DWX at higher volumes.

Anyone know of any renter friendly ways for keeping sound INSIDE the space and making it quieter for nearby units or is it hopeless and will I have to learn how to love mid level listening lol

What're you trying to do to me

When I see the specs, the LaScala was the first thing that came to my mind honestly.

This is basically what I assume you’re life is now:





And in my brain, this is where La Scalas and Jubilee belong.
Running off a set of 300B SET monos of course.

There is indeed a lofted mezzanine but it looks far more DIY than that hahahaha. My life will look like that but the asbestos flavored version of those pics...

Anyways, off I go to see how much a pair of those bad boys run.

Also I love how I came in here asking for tips on managing noise transfer between units and this forums response is

"GET SPEAKERS THE SIZE OF A MINI COOPER!"

Wanted to make sure you had adequate amounts of noise to manage.

PS, the gear I pictured would “only” be like $40k, assuming you already have a TT, phono, steamer/dac, and cables. NBD right?
