Short-ish answer. I used them for the main hook-up at the front of the room, but sides, surrounds, and ceiling are direct wired with banana plugs. Front left and right have dedicated Blue Jeans cables. I picked up bulk terminals for a 7.4.4, plus a bunch of ethernet ones. They say "gold...

I've actually watched the videos. As I said, there's a lot I left out. The 'shared' walls are not even 100% concrete, but some areas that are just drywall and pink insulation between the units (I have another thread from last fall that has the pics, I think). So what I did was put up a vapor...

That's why I was saying there's a lot that I am leaving out or it would become a very long post. I was only looking for those specific answers.

Short and sweet (yea, I was kidding myself when I wrote that). shorter version. More info in the following. I'm having underlay and carpet installed. Would putting OSB subfloor in the theater room make a big enough difference in sound isolation? Should I paint good, sealed primer between...

I'm in the planning stage of finishing our basement and I'm going to be building a theater room in it. I have another post in regards to sound isolation, but this is a different question. I've seen in some homes they have wall outlets for speaker placement, much like these I have a 7.1.4 Dolby...

sweet. Funny timing. I just opened this post a few minutes ago and was about to post a new question/thread. I've also been watching Youtube videos to learn how to use AutoCAD and working on drawing up my plans in that.

Ingersoll, Ontario. About 25 minutes East of London. The owners moved to Slovania. This is/was there personal house before they moved, which was somewhat a spur of the moment idea with no plans for returning. They do see the value of having the basement finished, and I'm pretty sure they can get...

oh, it probably is good. But, one, I rent, it's not my home. Two, budget is a big thing. The owners aren't going to pay for added sound isolation, that's coming out of pocket. Three, I'm doing this myself. added: I can probably get away with adding the little things I mentioned in the materials...

I doubt about the lead sheeting, however I did have a 'late night' idea last night and added it at the end of my original post. Let me know what you think.

yea, thank you for pointing out about the outlet boxes, switches, lights and others. I had already thought about the little box in the ceiling for the HDMI and power outlet for the projector, but completely overlooked the outlets. Even more so about the speaker outlets that I wanted to add...

yea, you have to keep in mind a few things. One, I rent. This isn't my house. It's an odd situation in that the owners just up and decided to move to Slovania. The wife is from there, and they have four kids, so the kids have dual citizenship. The kids are in school there, and they are happy...

Not sure what you mean by theatre studs touching the framing. Front towers, Paradigm Studio 100 v.3. I made stands that had speaker spikes and disks, and I put silicone pads on the bottom side of the disks. For the sub, which I think it the biggest concern, it's a Paradigm Servo 15, and I bought...

yea, you pretty much confirmed what I was saying. The joining walls to the other units, two layers of drywall, using the 5/8" thicker sheets for that, and using Green Glue in between. And the ceiling, using the anti-vibration tracks and putting the drywall to that. And, yes, the floor is...

First off, I want to start by saying that budget is a HUGE factor. I am renting this townhouse. The owners have agreed to let me finish the basement and they'll pay for the supplies, but they are not going to be interested in big budget sound isolation/proofing. I don't mind spending a little...

headphones and speakers are subjective to each person. A lot of people like Sennheiser. I had a pair and I didn't like them at all. I gave them to my brother in-law. I've also had high end Harman Kardon, Onkyo, and Yamaha receivers, and listened to Pioneer and Denon. My favourite was Yamaha...

It doesn't look like either of those support 600ohm headphones.

Nice. Browsing, I keep coming back to the Creative E5. The only negative I've heard is some people say it's not that loud. I use Neutron Music player which has a built in Pre-Amp, so not sure if that would help or not. It's looking like if I can't afford the Mojo I'll probably get the Creative...

yea, I didn't even finish the article. I quit at "Listening Tests". Way too much wrong with that article, and I have absolutely no interest in arguing about it. I despise arguing online, and it's not the point of my post. I won't dispute that I wouldn't hear the difference between a 24bit and...

Interesting read, and I'm still going through it now (slow reader, reading over things a few times, plus busy day). Not sure I completely agree with everything in it though. Using the same analogy of light/colour and sound. People can see the difference between 16bit colour, 24bit colour, and...

still reading, but right off the bat I can tell it was an old article (they should post article dates at the top, not the bottom). And technology has came a long way since then, too.
