no sound treatment? those walls look extra reflectiveeeeee lol

i bet your bass frequencies sound crazy

I actually lucked out big-time with this apartment, as where I and the studio sit, the bass is very listenable.

Though I'll let you judge the sonic results yourself:

Major fail. The lava lamp isn't bubbly.

It didn't have time to warm up

It's a cheap-ass lamp RadioShack sold 10 years ago and it holds a sentimental value for me (there's a red sparkly one behind the right speaker as well).

APC40 for the win!

Yea the APC40 is definitely a win, but i think the real win is all of the outboard gear you've got there.

i checked out mathmos.. not the same vibe as a lava lamp.. too modern..

Dude Mathmos invented the lava lamp, the Astro was (literally) the first on the market in the 60s.
You probably checked out some crazy modern stuff.



And they're top tier quality. Still made by hand somewhere in England with the exact same machines used for 50 years.

Nice Information.I have bookmarked your site to learn more. Thanks.

Thank you - it does make great noises and looks pretty as well

I like the fact that user alus is having a keyboard for use with his left foot. Toe-droning possible here.
