Fan noise certainly wouldn't be an issue...the room is pretty noisy: neighbors, A/C exchanger right outside one window, two computers...I'd never hear the amp. Keep the suggestions coming...I might even get the wife up to 12, maybe 13 hundred for a good reason. One thing that might be an...
I have been out of the loop on HT gear for about two years...in that time, my receiver has decided that it no longer loves me, and and I have decided it should die. I've talked the wife into about a thousand bucks. I am looking for forward compatability to 6 or 7.1, but the most important...

Tee-hee.

Yup, the center was copper, and since it laid in the post of the connector...

I simply cannot afford high-end cables...not if I want to keep buying new gear! So I was buying the best I could afford, usually Monster. On a whim, after seeing someone else's DIY cable post, I started making my own out of some connectors I...
I had the same problem in my former place. What I did was, I found a spot behind the entertainment center where the carpet was a little loose from the tack underneath. I loosened it up a teeny bit more, and fed a stiff wire in. It took a long time to get it all the way across the room, and in...
I am building three flexy-like racks soon (actually built one, a printer/scanner stand, today, out of ends left over from milling and some 1/2" threaded rods I already had). The one I have questions about is the CD rack I plan to build.
I'm using 6' sections of bull-nosed, 12" deep MDF. I...
