Building a house with dedicated stereo room-advice


Building anew house with a dedicated stereo room. The room will be built using ASC's IsoRoom system. It will also have dedicated lines and I will purchase high end plug in receptacles (advice here?). Anything else I should be sure to include? Please advise, particularly with the electrical distribution.

Five years ago, I was fortunate enough to build and design both a stereo room and a home theater room as part of a new house construction. It was expensive, but well worth it. I used Rives Audio to design the room (interestingly there was conflict between the people building the house and the Rives design. I had to step in and insist on the construction to go as designed.). I also acoustically isolated the rooms using materials and designs from Quiet Rock (double studded rooms with high end QR on each side.). I have 9 dedicated circuits between the two rooms, each connected to Oyaide RS-1 receptacles and used JPS audio heavy gauge, cryoed in wall AC wire. For me, the expense and final products are worth it, but I fully realize that if I sell the house I will not get a return on my investment, unless I sell it to an audiophile.

Enjoy and good luck,
