Steps/guide to planning an overall home entertainment system? TIA
When we did our reno we ran copper all through the house. Now I need to plan what to buy and install, and when as we have some budgetary constraints so we may have to use a phased approach. Any guidance on how to plan it (define requirements, what...

Larry V. Hryshko replied to the discussion 'Do you have wall treatments in your home theater?' in the group CUSTOM INSTALLS
Hmmmmmm......I was thinking more along the lines of having some experts pen articles for Cosmoplitan or Architectural Digest with titles like: Standing Waves and Cellulite: A Direct Correlation? Bass Traps Also Eliminate Dust Room Resonance Cause...

Chris Heinonen replied to the discussion 'Do you have wall treatments in your home theater?' in the group CUSTOM INSTALLS
I was considering some wall treatments in the living room but had the WAF kick in and was going to need to find a way around that. Now, you can get pre-made ones from people like Auralex that will let you print out some artwork for the panel so th...

Chris Eberle replied to the discussion 'Do you have wall treatments in your home theater?' in the group CUSTOM INSTALLS
My living room does not have specific room treatment but a large throw rug under the furniture and curtains on the windows help a lot. Our upholstered furniture also does a pretty good job of minimizing reflection.

Larry V. Hryshko replied to the discussion 'Do you have wall treatments in your home theater?' in the group CUSTOM INSTALLS
My home theater/living room is in desperate need of some room treatments as it is a reverbatorium. Hardwood floors, drywall, glass, and leather furniture. Not a damn thing to absorb any reflections, other than my dog. The problem for me is WAF/SAF...

You may consider recabling. I re-cabled my AKG K 702's specifically for this issue.

NekoAudio replied to the discussion 'Stax electrostatic headphones.' in the group ACCESSORIES
I've heard them paired with either STAX or Woo Audio amps. You'll have to make sure the amp matches what you're looking for, because STAX cans have a very distinctive sound (including between the different models) and electrostatic amps are few an...

Ross Jones replied to the discussion 'Numb to the special effects.' in the group NEW MOVIES AT THEATERS
Somewhere on the web I saw an edited trailer for the new film '2012" with all special effects taken out. It was pretty comical. I totally agree with Jim's list of Overdone/Well Done films. I would add some of the graphic novel-inspired films like ...

I also made my own panels, from Owens 705 semi-rigid fiberglass. I have large 2 x 4' panel bass traps in both front corners, smaller panels behind the L/C/R speakers, large panels at first reflection points on the side and a smaller panel on a dro...

Chris Eberle replied to the discussion 'Do you have wall treatments in your home theater?' in the group CUSTOM INSTALLS
I made several panels from mineral wool covered with burlap. It's MUCH cheaper to make your own that to buy pre-made ones. I also put a layer of rock board and a layer of plywood under the carpet to keep bass from resonating to the room below, ver...

Gary Walker replied to the discussion 'Numb to the special effects.' in the group NEW MOVIES AT THEATERS
I agree that the theatrical value of movies has degraded as have TV shows. If I look at my Netflix queue, a good 85% is British. Were it not for sports, II would sjmply cancel my cable subscription. Effects were neat when they complemented a well ...

NAIM Audio Recap Tour

McCormack LD-2 and DNA-250In my recent review of the Primaluna Dialogue Two I complained that tubes require maintenance. I didn’t complain much as Primaluna does a great job of minimizing those requirements. I should have held my complaint for my solid state gear. That’s right, even power supplies require maintenance. That’s the message that Naim is sending out with their Recap Tour. That’s ‘Recap’ as in ‘Replace the Capacitors’.

Energy RC-Micro 5.1 Home Theater in Box Speakers

Energy RC-Micro 5.1Do you fault a Mini Cooper for being a Mini and not a Honda Odyssey or a Porsche 911? In evaluating product, a question that is often unasked is "What is the reference?" Often times, particularly in audio or video, the question is unasked because the answer invariably is reality.
