Hi guys, I'm stripping the ceiling of a bay window that has suffered from damp, but is now fixed. I've stripped what I can with just a wallpaper scraper and most of the paper came of easily. But my issue is there is also another layer of something that has come off in parts but isn't budging...

Right, so I currently have an FI Audio HT1 being powered by an NX3000 amp. I'm adding a second driver soon and am wondering whether I'd be better just buying another NX3000 to power it or selling that and getting an NX6000 to do both. The downside is that the driver is 2ohm so I don't know if...

All, I would like to install my turntable (= Denon DP300F) on a shelf on the wall for two reasons. 1) This should isolate my turntable from floor fibrations (I have a wooden floor). 2) We have a relatively small living room, thus a "floating shelf" looks much lighter than a bulky piece of...

For the home cinema I'm running and trio of DIYSG 893's and four Volt 8's. All is well apart from the kids puncturing some of the woofers and mids so I have replacements on order. It's got me thinking about speakers for music. Has anyone built any of the DIYSG kits for music? The likes of the...

Do these need filling with insulation? If so, why? And what type? Thanks!

Long story short... keen to save my hard earned cash for new equipment I decided to build my own equipment racks as a stop gap until I can afford some decent ones. Super pleased with the results, especially as I managed to build all of this for £400, chances are that these will become a...

Hi, been digging around on the internet and trying to figure out which binding post wall plates to use for surround in wall wiring. I've found these that I could put in some blank wall plates to match our sockets but can't figure out the connection type...

Hi, I'm in the process of putting together a 5.1 system using vintage speakers and a Sony amp. I'm starting small and relatively cheap but will most probably upgrade along the way. To start with I've got two pairs of Bang & Olufsen Beovox S35-S's from the late 70's - they already sound great in...

There seems to be so many problems with top soundbars that I'm considering DIY in comparable price range (around 1500€). I would still like to see the review of Klipsch Cinema 1200. What are the advantages and disadvantages? I use speakers for 70% watching TV series, 10% watching movies, 10%...

Hi Guys, I have been searching the net for advice on soundproofing interior doors and this would seem to be the place. Unfortunately I am not able to build a room within a room dedicated cinema like some of the impressive projects here but was hoping you could share some of your knowledge. I...

What Colours does Tetrion Filler Come in? The reason I am asking is that I need to fill in some small cracks and one quite large hole in the side of a concrete door step. I was thinking of buying the above filler for this. The door step is a light sort of grey colour. Unless I have missed...

Hi, hope you can help with what is probably a stupidly simple question ... I have inherited a Rega Planar 2 turntable (nice) but the RBS phono plugs have been snipped off. I was going to just attach new plugs (solderless) but I'm stuck. The two wires coming out of the turntable seem to be just a...
