    Sony ES DVP-CX777ES 400 disc DVD/SACD changer

    Ben - I have an older model Sony 400 CD changer (not ES), and I just about died when the power went out in my house once and my three hours of work inputting CD titles went into the toilet. I can't believe these puppies don't have any sort of on-board memory. Do you know if the 777ES will retain...

    Sound deadening/blocking

    Thought I would just put in my two cents here since I just completed this process with my home theater. In addition to using the resilient channel, soundboard, and 2 layers of sheetrock, I also insulated the ceiling and interior walls of my basement theater with Acoustiblok. It's a heavy, thick...

    MDF as soundproofing

    Has anyone tried using Acoustiblok (www.acoustiblok.com) for sound insulation. It seems to be very flexible for construction purposes, and their website claims that it's like lining your walls with lead. The product is not cheap, but it may work well if you want to install it above exisiting...

If anyone has any experience dealing with this company...

    Home Theater Seating

    Dale - How's life in sunny San Jose? I'm in NJ now, but I do miss my hometown (the Garlic Capital of the World). Do you recall which stores you saw the sofa you've described above? Like Brandon, I too have a very narrow home theater, and using normal sofas or chairs (vs. true theater seating)...

    Insulation

    Wow! Did I say "Wow!" You answered the the above question and many subsequent ones. Thank you! Awesome Theater. Of course, all your great work and photos prompts a few more questions if you don't mind... (1) What is the height of your ceiling? I plan to use a DLP projector, suspended from...

    Insulation

    I am installing a home theater in my basement, directly below a well-traveled area on the first floor. In it's unfinished state with no existing insulation or ceiling, the basement is privy to even the lightest footsteps on the wood floors above. I obviously plan to insulate the new ceiling of...
