You don't have to put me on the spot to do a review of GIK. Again, I guess I'm not
"getting your sarcasm".
The only thing that is holding up the article, really is a meaningful way to describe
the products in a manner that will be useful to our readers. I've been talking to
a few people to help me do some measurements that are actually useful and will
coincide with what I'm hearing and wondering if we need to do them or not.
There are a number of other aspects of this that we've been mulling around for
some time now as well, so until we reach a general consensus, it's still on the back
burner.
Unless I can get someone in here that is a fairly noted professional, I won't do the
measurement part of the article, because I am an amateur at best when it comes
to that kind of thing.
I would hope that my listing GIK products as a reference component in the last
100 reviews I've done would carry a little bit of weight.
This is a fairly big undertaking, so it's something that will happen some time this
year, I just don't know when. I'm still of the mind that a well treated room will
provide a much more satisfying experience with a hi-fi system.
However, just like component and cable choices everyone has different tastes.
I've heard a lot of rooms that have been overdamped and over treated that sound
completely dead, yet the owner of the room loved it.
So part of me is very excited about it, while part of me doesn't want to open
up yet ANOTHER can of worms, starting another argument similar to cables,
power conditioners, etc.
At least with room treatments, we can take some before and after measurements
that will at least show where changes have been made.
Again, as soon as we can provide some meaningful data, and a decent process
of how to go about room treatment, there will be something forthcoming as I
do feel this is the most important upgrade to your system.
