New home - shoulda woulda coulda's

Working on my new home design. Would be interested in hearing of some new construction strategies that would service my audio needs. I'm interested in what infrastructure-related products that you folks might consider indespensible. I'm primarily interested in exceptional 2 channel audio support in my main living area. Eventually I will have a dedicated home theater/audio room in the basement and would require support for that room. Again, just interested in critical backbone products and not a home "media system" that will be outdated in a couple of years. However, if anyone knows of some exceptional "in-wall" products that might service some peripheral listening in other rooms, I'd be interested in those as well. I'm not afraid to spend the money as I cannot go a day without music. Oh yeah, no WAF issues so let loose with your bad selves! No need to rehash old threads I may have missed, so please offer up some links. Thanks.

If you have a joisted floor, think about extra stiffening under speaker and rack locations (deeper joists or even posts.) Also, it would probably be best to think about some kind of wall shelf for your TT (if you will have one.)

Hey Gunbei !
Don't forget to build a secret spycam porno room with secret entrance accessible and known only to you.

Is that where you got those movies of Nicole Kidman and I that have been circulating the internet?

Actually the girlfriend got the biggest kick out of the "porno room" idea but then got overly inquisitive about the Nicole Kidman videos - not that there's anything wrong with that...

Thanks for the Auralex link - I'll definately spend some time there.

What about dedicated circuits/power conditioning - opinions?

Was thinking about a "little" room (closet) in the basement to house a server for music and video and origin for ethernet runs. What else could I hide in there?

Slothman, Albert has been distributing my spycam videos for years. He tells me the Bart Simpson/Eric Cartman secret gay encounter is his best seller.
