| I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building You want spring and push, not static foam just sitting in there, and if you have too much spring behind it, it will over time budge and release off the studs and noggins.Cheers George | |
| I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building As far as insulation, have you priced foam, where it is sprayed into the walls? Acoustically I would think that would be better than fiberglass. Foam won't deaden/damp the Gyprock (drywall) panels like compressed 2 x 4" batts will, as the cavi... | |

| I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building oleschool OP any distance from rear wall is fine Ray, you want "some" bass loading so 1-2mts from the back wall. And side walls no closer than 1mt. This is what I did in my room, you have a 24ft long room so this is possible, I took out the cen... | |

| Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated Yes that it, when I queried Technics on it with the SE-R1, and one of the reviews also backed it up. Wow that means the SU-R1000 should hopefully have the 1.5mhZ switching speed also, when it comes out in mid/Feb 2021They must have listened to wha... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I’ve repaired a few Naim 250’s, the best was the first model with regulated rails back in the 80-90’s and they weren’t that good, they all oscillate at a drop of the hat, don’t think it would take much to beat them. If fact Naim dealers warned aga... |
