King Hotpants posted:I swear, every time I see a projector in this thread, I smile. It's like a secret brotherhood of the REALLY REALLY REALLY BIG picture. Ahaha, I know what you mean. We've had it over a year and there are still times when we'll be watching something and just stop to talk about how absolutely huge the picture is. We'll never go back  Omegaslast posted:are those the atlantic technologies with the blue drivers? Totally  I started putting together my 2.0 vinyl station today. Just got back from picking up some of these at Best Buy:  Also ordered a Shure M97xE cartridge and an Audio Source Amp 100 today:  I'm still trying to decide what phono preamp to run. In my price range (~$50) it looks like it's either the TCC TC-750 or the Rolls VP29. Anyone have any experience with either of them? I'm leaning towards the Rolls since it has a headphone out.

Nice equipment Mike and I like the fact that you put stuff in the room that you enjoy, It's nice to see someone's personality in their house.

sigma 6 posted:Can anyone who has a projector tell me how they solve their wiring issues? We have a 2" plastic flex conduit running from the back of the wall unit to the projector. It's carrying a 50' length of component cable from bluejean cables and an hdmi cable to the projector. The HDMI is from the ps3 and the component is from our receiver that combines all the dvd players/consoles etc. That's all our sources right there, the only thing behind us is the projector and stand. We've experienced no interference for what it's worth. The conduit is snaked behind lots of stuff (wall unit, dvd racks, absolutely gigantic tower subwoofer, couch, etc) so you can barely see it until it goes up the back of the projector stand. Even then it's all black conduit and we keep the room blacked out most of the time so while it's not perfect aesthetically, it's really not bad.

sigma 6 posted:Stupid question, but can I daisy chain receivers? My lovely receiver (built in to the subwoofer) does not have any video input/output . . . only audio. If you're buying a new receiver and want to keep the sub, you could just send the sub output on your new receiver to audio input of the old receiver/sub.

We had an upstairs neighbor that could hear us thinking about watching a movie. The slightest hint of bass and there was a knock at the door. We put the subwoofer on a couple of 12 inch by 12 inch by 1 inch thick patio blocks from Home Depot (they were like a dollar each) also the sub was moved 4 feet from any wall. We didn't go all out bumping bass but we did watch some movies and play some games at regular, fairly loud volumes, bass and all, and he never came down again. I saw him at a grocery store a few months after the changes and he said whatever we did worked great, he couldn't hear a peep.

^ I don't think foam is typically used to stop bass, just to stop high freq waves from bouncing around the room. Someone correct me here if I'm wrong..Nathan. posted:The thing about using tiles or paving stones is that they're so dense they don't really do anything to stop the vibrations from passing right through them and into the floor. Ideally you want atleast some form of vibration dampening. That does make sense actually, not sure why it seemed to work so well in my case. What about placing some rubber donuts between the two patio blocks? They sell a pretty large assortment of rubber feet for table legs etc at the Depot.

Twlight posted:Also I'm wondering the best way to store my records. I've really started to gain a collection and it would be nice to show case them somewhere in the living room. Any thoughts? I use a Lack bookshelf, standing upright with around 30 LPS in each of the top 3 shelves. The bottom shelf is for 7" storage, in one of these Ikea Trissa boxes. The Lack is kind of narrow stood up on end, but it's very sturdy once it's loaded up with records. I haven't bothered and have never had any trouble, but it might not be the worst idea to secure it to the wall at the top if you have kids/pets/drunk people you're worried might pull it over. If you need more storage than that, the popular choice is the Expedit series of bookcases with storage for ~50 LPs per shelf. Twlight posted:I was also thinking for the other side not occupied by the record player having a stand which would showcase what ever record was playing. Something like this: Personally I'd be a bit worried on more rare LPs that the steel balls would put indent marks on the jacket. A table-top photo easle from a craft/art supply/frame store would probably be more gentle on the jackets. Owsla fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Mar 26, 2008 |

Twlight posted:Do you have any photos of your LP's inside the lack? I'd like to see how they look. I just moved and haven't unearthed my digital camera from the pile of boxes yet. I'll put up pics of my setup asap though.

Twlight posted:I really like the Lack bookshelf, since I'll be using different parts of the Lack I think that it will fit well. Do you have any photos of your LP's inside the lack? I'd like to see how they look. I counted and I can get about 40 per shelf on average, one shelf is holding 50. They're in there very loosely too, I didn't want to squeeze too many in and wind up with ring marks on the jackets.
