Revel center channel help. C-30, C-50 or Voice?
I would compare the C-50 to the voice. If you are going with studios I would be inclined to go with voice which is perfectly matched to the mains. I have the whole setup including the studios,voice, 4 embraces, and 2 subs 15s. I am planning on usi... 
1/2" Celotex instead of sheetrock in sound room?
Glue the celotex between the studs. Blow insulation in the studs and put two layers of sheetrock on the walls and ceiling. Put rubber strips on the ceiling prefering using perpendicular firing strips. Put a layer of 1/4 to 1/2 inch cork on subfloo... 
This Sistrum stuff works
I love their stuff. The price isn't terrible. I don't if it is better than sliced bread but it is good quality gear. 
What cables would you recommend?
Sonoran plateau from star sound. I have excellent results. I understand the acoustic zens are very good but have no personal experience. Check audiopoints.com. 
Review: Star Sound Technology Sistrum SP-4 Audio Rack Stand
Mephisto my experience with the cable is that it requires a rather long breakin. I did an a/b with nordost and actually liked the warmth of the sonoran much better. Although I still have nordost on other systems I find it almost artificially quick...

Review: Star Sound Technology Sistrum SP-4 Audio Rack Stand
Super review. I have two of the six shelf sistrum racks and while buying them somewhat alone in the wilderness knew I had something great. Sometimes happiness loves company and it is good to see others confirm my stellar praise for this product. I...

What's your High End best buy/unknown components?
HP 110 amps from star sound. Check out audiopoints.com. The site doesn't do credit to these remarkable amps. I have a big system with a dedicated acoustic treated room and had listened to great stuff from Levinson, Krell, Spectral, Pass, and many ... 
Mono block suggestions
Krelldog appreciate the clarification, but I still don't know why anyone in the business would say monos are only for appearance or rack configuration. There technical differences between them. 
Mono block suggestions
I don't believe the reason for monos has anything to do with convenience. If a dealer said this it tends to point out problems I personally have witnessed with some dealers who throw out unsupported information so that they can sell a product. The... 
Poll: Which rack s would you use and why?
I have the sistrum and their great. Lots of threads on sistrum. Do the search. As far as weight no problem. On one rack I have two 2 Proceed HPA2s, a revel LE-1 sub amp, and 3 HP110 monos. This is a lots of weight. Not even a remote problem. The f... 
Optical Vs. Coaxial Digital - Which Interconnect?
My gut tells me coax and I typiclly make that connection. However I just got a dish and toslink is the only available digital connection. The is really great. However, it isn't really much of a test. I have a/b this on my main system and coax proa... 
Looking For High Quality Equipment Rack
Theaudiotweak is the expert on these. I think he might sleep with the racks at night. You can see the disk on their website. These will protect your floor from the points. I don't think there is significant impact on performance with these. As far...
