View Full Version : First pictures of the media room...
dloftis 01-21-2007, 08:58 PM Quality sucks, sorry...
Still have a lot to do, and some equipment to upgrade... but it's a good start.
Oh, and not all the furniture is in here yet, either..

not in a bad way. maybe it's just the first step in a series of upgrade plans???
dloftis 01-22-2007, 05:08 AM and yes, many more upgrades to come... especially in the amp and pre/pro areas.

dloftis 01-22-2007, 07:43 AM Trying to decide what I want to do with it.

Thats what I would do.
dloftis 01-22-2007, 08:35 AM and I'd have to build something out on the back side... which would also block my only access to the attic.
I'd more likely knock out a bit of the wall behind where the components are now and build in a middle atlantic rack.
On the other hand, that's $1,000+ that could go into better equipment ;)
carbonLORD 01-22-2007, 09:28 AM ....you could move all of the components like a door that pushed inward, and then get into the attic, or whatever else is back there.
Thats really the cleanest solution IMO, and the way I see it, not that much nore then buying some fancy external rack. Plus it would be custom and..... damn it dloftis, I like that idea ;)
Whatever you decide, you certaily have the room for it.
Audi2Ody 01-22-2007, 11:01 AM Great for hiding from the INS! Anne Frank would be jealous!
dloftis 01-22-2007, 11:05 AM You can paypal $5,000 to me at dloftis@dloftis.com to get it started.
;)

dloftis 01-22-2007, 01:14 PM No HDMI
No HDMI, for me, also means no 1080p (my video processor won't take 1080p on component or RGBHV)
No DTS
No DTS-HD Master Audio
No TrueHD
pierreb 01-22-2007, 01:19 PM we're supposed to get DTS *out* with the next update. TrueHD is here now, but with lip-sync probs.
was just needling anyway ;-).
dloftis 01-22-2007, 01:52 PM Might as well just play the DD track.
I have a 54x96 screen
I'm really tempted to get the HD-DVD drive. At $200, it's hard to beat. On the other hand, it's $200 I could put towards a dedicated player that I'm still going to want after I have the Xbox addon.
pierreb 01-22-2007, 02:14 PM anyway, get the 1080p projector. worth it for that size screen with your room.
RJ314 01-24-2007, 12:58 PM Someone may have aske this, but are your componets plugged directly into the wall outlets?....If so I would recommend a surge protector and power reconditioner immediatley.
You should really protect your equipment from power spikes and it improves their performance.
dloftis 01-24-2007, 01:30 PM So yeah, it's all protected
freakness 01-24-2007, 07:54 PM Hardware....I think any of those colors would be better than the white covers you have on now.....
dloftis 01-24-2007, 08:05 PM only problem is that some of the outlets I'm using are PS Audio Power Ports, which aren't available in those colors... so I need to paint them.
freakness 01-25-2007, 07:59 AM Just clean the surface and spray....really easy to work with. It's available at the usual stores and comes in a variety of colors.
Good luck....
