Adjustable Spring Bass Traps
I think Acoustic Fields builds something similar to what the op is referring to. A diaphragmatic absorber. They do or used ro sell plans for them to diy. Its pretty complex with a carbon substance inside as well, if I remembercorrectly. I believe ... 
Sadly, the Anthem AVM 90 preamp is delayed till late 2021.
I would love to know how it compares to the Anthem str preamp. Just how good is the stereo performance? It's not a 100% apples to apples comparison, but it's a newer piece and $7k price, I hope that would bring some performance.  I want to get rid... 
Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
150 sales, he should have an account on more than one message board. Communicating that way would be another step in the process. Seems legit if the sales were recent. My biggest concern is someone else is using the account after it was left behin... 
Dedicated power
Maybe you're interpreting a 30 amp line with cable for a 30 amp line? Running a 10 gauge is for 30 amps but you need a 20 amp receptacle on it.  
Starting a 2 Channel System from the Top of the Rabit Hole
I've had a similar setup. Paradigm Studio 40 speakers in a 5.1 surround sound in my Livingroom of roughly 14x28ft but within an open floor plan. I had used a 200wpc x 5 Parasound amp for everything and recently upgraded to Persona speakers and the... 
Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver
Just want to point out, if you're using the 1120's digital room correction, then you'll  have to use it's dac.I have the BS Node connected to an mrx 720 and use the 720 dac because I didn't want to lose ARC. 
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
When I purchased the Anthem MRX720 I chose that instead of the AVM 60 solely because I wanted a Zone 2 for my backyard speakers and I already had a Parasound 5 channel amp. I did want the better AVM60 but it did not offer that option.If I were you... 
Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?...
I taped a piece of black art paper to the front of my Anthem str amplifier so I wouldn't see the "cool led guages". I know some people like them, but I'm just not the "flashy" type. 'Less is more' for me.In my living room, I have a 5.1 system with...

Installing new wires in room with hardwood floors
It's a very simple job for a pro to put into the wall. You'll be paying a lot for that floor box alone if you go that route.I suggest you try the inwall yourself if you're handy. The hardest part is knowing exactly where to drill up from the basem... 
I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what?
Well, Foley says the corners aren't necessarily the spots to be in. He's done thousands of rooms and his data does not support that. He's mentioned it numerous times in his videos. Of course everyone can have their own opinion. I suggest watching ... 
I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what?
+++ re acousticfields yourube videos. I've only been learning this stuff from the videos and from reading, so grain of salt.. It's easy(ier) to affect high frequencies than problematic bass, so I would start with the bass traps and getting that un... 
Separating cables, is there a mat to help along the way?
Looking at Sbooster and Uptone mostly, but still researching, and again, going backwards in terms of my approach. I just bought an EtherREGEN and going from there. Just going into a Bluesound node for now. Will look into Pardo, Thanks. 
Separating cables, is there a mat to help along the way?
I am having noise problems, but also it was a huge mess back there. I've since cleaned it up a lot, so I'm still going. I go through spurts of upgrading, then I stop for a while. So I'm striking while I'm in the mood I guess. I'm sort of working b... 
Separating cables, is there a mat to help along the way?
I'm going to have to use something like that or bands and wood configured somehow to hold things up vertically, as I don't have the floor space. My issue is wanting to place a shield between the cables when/if I can't get enough separation between...
