No wonder nobody needed 50,000 amps, preamps and speakers and such in the 60's and 70's.
All we need to do is bring back SHAGG and make it from cotton. Hell, put it on the walls too.

I'm interested in a rug that already comes burned in, let's say a minimum of 100 hours. Ivan, shouldn't you be able to burn these in with your many systems....just place a rug in each room and let the systems do their work.

Now that is how you burn in a rug! Special AA pricing I assume.

I went crazy trying to find a new rug that sounded better than my old one. I tried a few, synthetic, wool and blends. All the new ones I purchased and returned all looked much better than my old braided rug but sounded much worse to me. I couldn't explain it but when I put the new ones down everything just sounded off to me. I decided to just keep the old rug even though I don't like the look that much. Perhaps I just became accustomed to the sound of the old rug. I did feel silly returning rugs that were beautiful but did't sound good. I did prefer wool over synthetic.

I was just thinking about doing this since my cheap rug seems to have flattened and no longer has its soft thick pile! Good to know I'm not the only one conscious about rug choice for listening environments!
