Hey Nils, You are always welcome to bring LOTR:TT to my house. I am quite sure that my audio system will more than do it justice :D I just added another amp to the mix so now I have 400W going into the sub instead of the 100W you heard last time :eek:. Julian

I was just curious who all was going to be at the Zilker Park Symphony/Fireworks display on Friday? Emily and I will probably get there between 7:30 and 8:00. We sat about 50 yards from the stage last time and it worked out pretty well (easy to watch the fireworks and listen to the music). I...

Looks like my post from a few days ago was a casualty of the database corruption. The jist of it was that the GR-Research tube trap is a really poor design for taming what I view as the most problematic bass frequencies (approximately 80Hz - 110Hz). The wedges they use only have a .23 absorption...

For those that could not make it, you missed a really good time at Hank's house. The fajitas were fantastic. For the vegetarians out there, I am quite sure that Hank still has bushel or so of cooked zuchini that he would like to get rid of :laugh: Actually, unless Hank's son brought the UT...

Hello Mike, I second what Jonathan said. If the room is untreated, then there will likely be unacceptable reflections from the tile floor. However, a 5x7 pile or preferably wool rug between you and the speakers will help out significantly. In my demo room, my floors are actually stained...

Hello Mike, Is this home already built or is one that you are going to have built? If it is a spec home (i.e., already 90%+ built) then you may have a good shot at gettting them to add the wall if you submit it with you bid (at the 90% built stage the house is costing them lots of money each...

Hello Hank, Add Emily and I to the list for Dinner and Casablanca (and perhaps poker). Just need directions... See you tomorrow. Julian

Hello Mike, As was well demonstrated on the HT Home tour, with a little planning and work just, about any free space can be made into a really nice HT. :) The diagram was a little too small to read, but I am guessing the Game Room is the one just as you exit the stairs. It should be fine, but...

Hey Hank, You definitely would not have to twist my arm for any one of those three. :) Did you ever find someone with a CRT to watch Casablanca? If not, feel free to come on out to my house any time. Julian

Last night I spent a few hours correcting the "faults" in my CRT so clearly pointed out by the gang during the HT tour ;) [all suggestions were greatly appreciated, thanks to everyone who came over] Doing the manual focus and then convergence of the blue made a big difference. Things should get...

Hello Colin, I am in for Saturday. Putting me last will work out great. For those that are tired and/or don't want to do the drive, then they can just skip mine. For the rest of the "hardcore HT" crowd, I am quite sure we can keep things rocking way into the wee hours of the morning :D Julian

Hello Nils, Wished you could have joined us for poker night. It ended up being Hank, Scott, Dr. J, and myself. We had a good time but quickly realized your idea of throwing in your worst DVD was not a proper incentive :rolleyes:I think some people purposely lost hands so that they would not...

Hello Colin, Yeah, I was afraid that I would be a little too far out of the way. No problem. I guess I am the "trendsetter" for the "new growth" side of the city ;) (areas East of the airport are projected to grow by something like 200,000+ people in the next 10 years; hopefully most of them...

If people don't mind the drive (I live out towards Bastrop), I would be happy to add my house to the list. The benefit is that it could be during the day since I have total light control over the room. Basic attributes: entire house is DIY (wife and I built it ourselves), 14'x19'x10' dedicated...

Hello Nils, If you still have an open seat then I would love to come to your poker night if you will have me. I had been hoping to get a chance to meet eveyone and this sounds great. Hypothetically, if it was actually legal to gamble in Texas :rolleyes::wink: , I kind of like Scott's idea: $5...
