Sound control when finnishing a basement?
I just completed a media room and work with people who had done recording studios. I found all of the professional acoustical companies to be grossly overpriced. PBB and others are essentially in line with my application. Double drywall with offse... 
Are Nordost really the Rolls Royce of cables?
Who knows whether they are the rolls royce of cable. I have used many iterations of Nordost and have been pleased with the results. However, the price of the Vahalla and even SPM may be justified in a very limited 2 channel system. I have recently... 
Revel Studios and?
Either get the Levinson 300 or 400 series or for a little less the Proceed HPA,s. I have used both on my studios and the sound is great. I just bought off brand mono amps call harmonic precsion from Star sound tech that are extremely efficient alm... 
Best 5 Channel Amp
You really can't have this discussion without checking out the Proceed Amp-5. It is an outstanding amp and there significant press around the web to give you an idea of its quality. I have and have had many proceed amps and they are a lot of bang ... 
using a transformer to separate your gear power
I find these comments about balanced power systems as being possibly banned in the u.s. and dangerous utterly irresponsible. To have them come from apparantly audio professionals who sell competing products is disgusting. It is one thing for unkno... 
High performance electric outlets
No wrench in my comments only looking for the truth. I wasn't sure about the info I had heard about the Hospital grade Hubs. Anyone demoing would have better info. 
High performance electric outlets
Be careful about Hubbell hosp. grade. My understanding is that for hospital purposes they have a treatment that is not good for audio applications. Hubbell has the same level of outlet without these treatments. Also I would check out FIM outlet th... 
Review: Nordost Valhalla Interconnect
Excellent review. My experience with Nordost from the Blue Heaven, Red Dawn, Spm and now Valhalla has been excellent. However, If one is going to do anything high end beyond two channel(realizing that many believe anything beyond 2 channel is not ... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Sonoran plateau cables have micro bearings providing the same type of features as are claimed with the liquid ceramic. Other than that I just wired my entire media room with them and while the total price was steep, it was inexpensive compared to ... 
Rationalizing the Mark Levinson ML-40
Hotrod has a point you have to stop somewhere. I think the 40 is great but certainly the sound and video of other systems are more than acceptable. I was just in a position where I was redoing my entire system in a dedicated space and had the proc... 
Rationalizing the Mark Levinson ML-40
I am sure the theta piece is a fine product, but nothing is more upgradeable or customizeable the Media 40. I looked at all of them and frankly the 40 is technology way ahead of the anyone else. Whether that translates into something clearly bette... 
Rationalizing the Mark Levinson ML-40
I've got the Media -40 and it is truly amazing. The sound quality is phenominal. The flexibility and multitude of inputs makes this piece a pure joy. Look at the website and check out the owners manual before believing someone else will be releasi... 
thoghts about isolation.
I don't know what tweaks connection with the industry is one way or another, but I just picked up a pair of racks from star sound tech. based on these principles and have been A/Bing them with fixed shelving. There really is a difference in the de... 
Equi=Tech Balanced Power vs. ?
Cornfedboy I don't know what a sockpuppet means to you, but if the implication is that I work for some company and am posting a thread to help them out then you have made a mistake. I am a tech enthusiast who has two home theater apllications and ... 
Equi=Tech Balanced Power vs. ?
I just purchased the equi-tech 10w wall mount and it is truly amazing. You can certainly get something smaller. This has 10 20amp circuits. It is a dedicated power system to which you run a 220 line. I am wiring all a/v equipment separate from nor...
