Buconero117,
I plan to use Albert Porter's Ports which are cryo Hubble made to his specs. As far as speaker cables are concerned, I have a different view point than you - so lets not go there. I currently have a drop-in ceiling that the previous owner did in the basement, but I want the ceiling higher. I will try to research on acoustical tile.
Ozzy,
My question is - when people have dedicated outlets, do they use them to directly connect the device (amp, preamp, cd player) to the outlets? I plan to use the outlet to connect my power conditioner and then the devices into the power conditioner. I have looked at a youtube video of MIT Z-Duplex, which is a in-wall power conditioner. It shows how the noise is cleaned when using that. I don't know how it would affect the performance of the amps when plugged into such outlet.
The room already has a home theater wires in the front and back. I plan to put a dummy box on those corners and keep them ready if I move in future. As of now - no interest in home theater. Yes, considering the CAT5 cables. What type of insulation do you suggest - regular fibreglass or other alternatives?
2 of my walls - I plan to double layer using Green Glue. I had not thought about this for the ceiling. I read that you have to use isolation clips to decouple the joist and drywall for the ceiling to be really soundproof. So I am not sure if the 2 layers in the ceiling would help me. Most of my listening is done in the night when kids are in bed.
