| New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells Hey Albert! I sent a check this am. for 4 outlets. It's probably overkill, but hey, my system may just grow.joeb | |
| halogen lighting? Ok, well I guess that about sums it up! So what's the alternative for lighting? I found a nice set of wall sconces, with a cobalt and red shades but they wanted a ridiculous price for them, like $180 ea.jb | |
| Sound loss/ windows? Thanks guys,I've been worrying about this for quite awhile, whew.Richard, I origninally thought about putting my speakers on the short wall (15), but that does seem to take up a lot of space, I will probably try both ways for the fun of it.But hav... | |
| New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells Well, I have been communicating with Albert on these. I just started building my listening room over the garage. I have the first floor about done. I won't be ready to wire until summer, but had planned on getting 2 from Albert. I may go as many a... | |
| Dedicated lines/surge protectors? Subaru,Glad to hear! Out here on the edge of the Rockies in Montana, we get some pretty fantastic lighting storms. It's not uncommon to lose power for an hour or so 5-6 times a summer. And since Bob Gagnon sold out Montana Power and Touch America ... | |
| Separate ground for dedicated line This brings up a good question for me as well. After moving into our new house (new to us, but built in the 60's)I realized all the outlets were old, 2 prong, ungrounded lines. So after adding a couple 3 prong outlets for my surge protectors, I ra... | |
| rc 1 resilient channel used in room Tswhitsel,I have been planning to build in the near future and I am curious as the reason you chose to use the rc. Does your room share walls with other occupants? If so, how well does the rc work? Do you listen to loud music?thanks,joe | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Well, you hit a couple right off the bat. Santana, for depth and mystical, even cosmic proportion(yup, I'm from the 6's). Jeff Beck had it, I don't know what happened to him, he's still playing, but I don't follow him these days. His best (IMO) we... | |
| Would 1 of those cat trees make a good bass trap? I heard of a guy up in Minnesota who used about 30' of leader. Tied one end to the cat tree, on the other end, he put a red, rubber wiggly worm. He hung it out over one end of the boat, and I'll be damned if he didn't catch a mess of bass.joeb | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? Red, I am also building a room, as you may know because you pointed me in the direction of some books. But, while researching this I ran across a site in the Audiogon archives: psaudio.com/articles/listening_room_3.aspThese guys built a room with ... | |
| the listening room: "golden ratio"? Nar, com, Now I'm really confused, I thought the ratio was:1: 1.4: 1.9 where 1= height etc. And why, if 8x13x21 is the "gr" would you go with a higher ceiling?joe | |
| the listening room: "golden ratio"? Zargon, Great Idea. I have already thrown out the previous dimensions, way too small, I am going with a L22 by W15. the only question is to go with a 8' or 10' ceiling. Probably the 10'. The previous question remains to be answered however, re: th... | |
| the listening room: "golden ratio"? To those of you still watching this thread; I have been researching more and getting closer to starting my project. I have decided on the basic materials needed for sound isolation properties; layers of 1)sheetrock/2)soundboard/and 3)sheetrock att... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? To Spluta,first of all, no wonder you didn't like the N801's, driven with a measly 200W! The 801 requires at least 300 and even more before they begin to open up. That particular model could really benefit from bi-amping. This thread just amazes m... |
