    Drive By Truckers

    I picked up their new 'Brighter Than Creation's Dark' CD a little while back and really do believe this is their best CD yet, this is actually one of those CDs that gets better and better each time I listen to it and am really digging it a lot. '3 Dimes Down', 'Righteous Path', 'Self...

    Excellent job Hans, your room is outstanding and as already mentioned, the Les Paul along with the Marshall amp looks right at home.

    New HT Room

    Thank you rmk, the baseboards were installed whenever we built the room so I just notched 'em whenever we added the bass traps. That must have been quite an undertaking by adding the second story in the manner by which you did....very impressive to say the least!

    New HT Room

    I agree with croseiv, your room looks very elegant, warm and impressive. I see you are using the GIK Tri-Traps and panels...they look nice in there. Congrats! One question though, whenever you stated that this was formerly the upper portion of the family room what did you do, enclose an...

    It Is Finally Happening!!

    Looks great David! My one suggestion is one that was given to me while our room was under construction....if you *think* you may at some point in the future want to add a component or two, run the cable for it now. It's a lot better to have cables in the walls that you'll never need than it...

    A long "RUN" for my Subwoofer. Need some advice.

    Kolia, would most store bought subwoofer cable be of a shielded RG type cable and not an unshielded RCA cable? Maybe I should be the one wearing the DUNCE cap today because I've never really examined what type material manufactured sub cable was made from! ;)

    A long "RUN" for my Subwoofer. Need some advice.

    Joe I bought a 1,000' spool of Tributaries RG6 and used about 500' of it for most of the in-wall component runs, including about 130' for six locations of subwoofer runs terminated with F-connectors on wall plates for our TV/listening room without any signal degradation whatsoever. A 12' run...

    Help Decide Receiver war.

    Seems like I read somewhere that the Onkyo TX-SR875 was having some heating issues? I too have been keeping an eye out for one of these new receivers and have been the type who likes the tried and true stuff, it's tough trying to decide.

    Flyboys

    I picked this movie up yesterday and didn't expect much, for some reason I thought it was going to be too 'sappy' but I was surprised and impressed with the outcome....a very good story line and some great battle scenes. Flyboys I also picked up The Guardian but have not watched it...

    Apocalypto

    I bought this movie quite a while back and watched just a little part of it after having a couple of beers and couldn't get much into it....after reading this thread yesterday, I took advantage of the little missus going out with the girls last evening and watched it again. Whoa, what a great...

    Once again: what are you listening to now?

    Right now I'm listening to Blues Attitude's 'Show Time Groove' ... a band out of the pacific northwest that I found on CD Baby. Good stuff! Blues Attitude .

    The Raconteurs

    I also tried TMV and didn't care for them. Jack White is good, I like his playing ... another couple of folks whom I really like listening to is the Black Keys. Just really good raw music.

    HDMI cables - What to look out for...

    I have a 40ft run of HDMI cable bought from Monoprice that I've been using over a year without any problems, if I would have made this purchase through Monster or any like manufacturer I would probably still be making payments. Monoprice and Bluejeans make quality cables at very affordable...

    Pretty Small Room

    >>>I just gave you I wouldnt benfit having a center ? I'd give Seth's suggestion a try. I can only assume your main speakers will be on the 9' wall? If so, you're only looking at about 7 or so feet separation between the two mains and placing your seating distance about the same distance...

    Oppo 981 vs Denon 2910

    I've had my Denon 2910 for about a year and a half or so and one little quirk that I've noticed is that it sometimes seems to not want to respond to commands sent from the remote whenever it is first turned on, afterwards it is perfectly fine. Operationally it does the job quite well and...

    Robert Johnson...

    Good call Jack. Just about any rock or blues tunes find their roots back to Robert Johnson is some way or another, can you imagine his fortune had he been born 30 years later! The EC 'Sessions for Robert J.' DVD that comes with the CD is very good also.

    Dumbest Home Theater Setup Thread

    What exactly is it with folks sometimes? Just a couple of weeks ago a neighbor was inquiring about the addition of a 'good' HT system for his house and wanted me to 'point him in the right direction' (money is not that big of an issue) so after spending a couple of hours and showing him our...

    Tri Traps

    Mike I also incorporated GIK's Tri-Traps into our room and could tell a noticeable difference immediately, I did have to *very carefully* modify one pair in order to stack 'em on top of each other to fill the corners of the room from top to bottom *BUT* before I'd recommend any modifications by...
