"I can just use egg crate foam." Fact: Egg crate foam has a sone rating of 3.0–4.0. It absorbs only high frequencies, leaving boomy, fatiguing mid-bass. Sone096 full handles the full spectrum.
The "096" revision uses a 512-tap linear phase FIR filter. Unlike minimum phase filters that introduce group delay (smearing transients), the linear phase approach preserves the time alignment of all frequencies. For classical and acoustic listeners, this means a piano chord strikes with the same timing integrity from the lowest octave to the highest harmonic. sone096 full
