| Living room system: class A or AB amps? To OP, If I had just spent 100K or 65K on sale for that matter. I would think it a no-brainer to jump on a plane and go to the highest of the high-end dealerships who sells Focal and audition amps in a large space. Obviously you're going to spend ... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? @terry,From my original post: Rewired the entire room and in the process added 7 high hats. They were to be used to make the room very bright for cleaning, playing with wires etc. I also have four sconces that will get the old style low wattag... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? oldhvymec, My room is 15 X 17 X 8, not ideal, but its what I have to work with. I too am retired, coming up on 7 years now!bkeske, I didn't specify the LEDs to my electrician. And I just had him put in six 3" LED "shallow" lights in a fireplace... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? lpretiring,I’ve used permatex for gaskets. I’m thinking that its essentially a hi-temp version of RTV sealant as well as unaffected by petroleum products. Did not know it was good for vibration control. Thanks.Regards,barts | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? dekay,Funny how I never ran into the tactile transducers before. I took a look and the few I looked at only go down to about 100-300hz. My rig is really full range. Took quite a bit of work in the last iteration of this room to stop random buzz... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? oldhvymec,I should have mentioned that the entire room was sprayed with commercial sound absorbing open cell foam. Then Roxul SAFB to fill up all the cavities, so the wires are all or nearly all are foamed into place. I have yet to pull some of ... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? cissado, thanks for the suggestions much appreciated. I will address all of those areas. The sheetrock is going to be glued and screwed, so maybe some Green Glue on the supporting braces between the joists is a good way to go. Along with taping... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? MC, I forgot to ask...did you do anything to your cans so they won't rattle/buzz? | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? Rego, The cans are exposed at the moment (no sheetrock in the room yet) so now would be the time to either take them out and replace with another type fixture or attempt to remedy a problem that I don't know I have yet. Thanks. | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? Eric, the only problem with leaving them in is after sheetrock I very well may put stained pine boards on the entire ceiling. That would a problem to try and rip them out. They are not on the same circuit and will not have dimmers, they're just ... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? Thanks MC. I would figure the Tektons alone could rattle just about anything. The cans are in the ceiling and surrounded by Roxul packed in well but not real tight. And everything will be sealed up real good. At this point the room is kinda sp... | |
| Power strips- too many choices I live where we loose power about once a year due to downed trees during a storm. When I see the wind is going to be significant I throw the stereo 20 amp breaker in the main panel. If in fact the power does go outthen I throw a whole lot of bre... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @ musicfan2349 Wow Bozak Concert Grands...brings back a bunch of memories. I loved those speakers. I'm willing to bet they were paired with McIntosh. Wasvery classic for the period.Warm Regards,barts | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? "The universe without music would be madness."Friedrich Nietzsche | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? Many salient points already made in this discussion.I don't think its an either/or proposition. One feeds on the other. Personally I think its all about the music and I have literally more than 1000 pounds of gear. And still more stashed in closet... |
