Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)?
So, when installing a light that was next to another one, you could hear the vibrations as you were hammering of the light that was already installed. If you could tape them, fasten them, etc... and they would stop vibrating before the gypsum boar... 
Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)?
I've installed hundreds of recessed lights. The most vibration noise that would come out of them would be from the connection box where the cable comes into the box for termination. It was the cover plates of the boxes. Another location is the sli... 
Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
Yyzsantabarbara, do you remember which Nad you listened to with the 3f speakers? I've been looking at the newer M33 to pair with my 3f's. Seems to check most boxes for me.  Would love to know how it compares to the Anthem str preamp. 
Ethernet cables
My plan was to use Supra cat 8 from panel, to router, to all equipment.  I purchased one terminated cable, then made the mistake of buying the Supra roll of cable and their rj45 connectors, figuring i would do the rest myself. I have since learned... 
Separate Ethernet runs or one, then to a switch?
Thats a "whole" other issue. 
Separate Ethernet runs or one, then to a switch?
That's going to take me a while to figure out. Is there a diagram I can look at to understand it better?I'm already stuck at square one, btw. I tried to use cat 8 cable and apparently have no idea (and so do a lot if other people) how to properly ... 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Docroasty, I ended up ordering the Cerious Matrix power cords for both Niagaras. I might as well finish up the full loom like I was thinking. I'm sure they'll work out great.  I've been happy with everything else Matrix. 
room setup
I would not know the answer, but want to point out that you can disguise heavy drapes or sound treatments into the wall with the window much easier than the other wall(s), in case that matters to you. My speaker wall has a 6-8ft wide window that t... 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Thinking to get Matrix for wall receptacle to conditioners. I got the lower AudioQuest z3 or something, but since I have the full loom of Matrix for speakers, interconnects, PCs... I better just keep it going for the final 2 pieces. This BF deal m... 
Niagara 1200 and subwoofers
It's funny, I saw that thread with the link to a coax filter and realized I have one sitting on my desk for many years. Maybe I'll put that in to try. I've filled up the first Niagara and won't get the second until December,  so I'll have to wait ... 
Niagara 1200 and subwoofers
The hum lasts for roughly 5 seconds and comes every 30 seconds. Sometimes every 60 seconds. Seems to start after 6AM for some reason. At 3, 4 or 5AM, it does not seem to do it.I installed the conditioner today but still awaiting a second one. If t... 
Niagara 1200 and subwoofers
Just wanted to post an update. I did run a new 10-2 dedicated circuit and plugged in the subwoofer directly to it. I still get the hum every 30 seconds or so. Sometimes 60 seconds. The Niagara 1200 is coming today, so I'll see what happens with th... 
Test a new dedicated circuit before installing it.
I just ran a 10-2 romex to the panel. Not bad for an existing wall, putting in an old work box and ran into the panel in less than an hour.  Total cost <$40.  Can't go wrong with that in terms of time and money. Let's see if I hear a difference... 
Test a new dedicated circuit before installing it.
MC, I've seen your posts against HT receivers. We all have our limits i guess.  My goal is to get an uber(to me) integrated amp with HT bypass. I absolutely love my setup right now. Its not broke, but I want better 2 channel. While waiting to deci... 
Test a new dedicated circuit before installing it.
First, I'm here to ask questions because I don't know the answers. I'm going to have to re-read this thread more carefully to fully absorb it. I'm not sure if all the answers were agreeing. So I would have to decide who is right and who is wrong. ...
