Other factors affecting sound


I'm building a dedicated room in my basement and was wondering if I should care about in wall electrical wiring and Receptacles. Do these generally make a big difference. I assume anything should be better than builders quality material. Are there any specific recommendations? What about whole house surge protection? Also, I have an option to install a second electrical box, is this helpful? I have a 5000sq ft house in suburban area with very few houses near me. I have clean and stable power. Recommendations appreciated.

I miss Miller Carbon’s comments and wish he were back. I sometimes totally disagreed with him, but that is part of the fun. He also had a good dry wit.

He has his own website now. You can get all the mc you want.  I don't recall the name of the site.

Here you go, @kingharold:   Millercarbon’s The Audio Files

It looks a little lonely over there. mc would probably appreciate your company.

I see what you mean about lonely.  As best I can determine his forum has zero threads with zero replies.  I have been more entertained reading the text on a Lysol bottle while sitting on the throne.
