Ro, 29 June 2009About the firedoor, if it's solid; go for it. 50 euro is a good price. 2 sheets of 12mm MDF will prolly do when your walls are, say, 2x15mm Gypsum. A frame needs to be…
donal_finn, 29 June 2009great to see some people chiming in here. The fire door, seems to be the way to go all right. I thought myself that it was a very good price, and indeed it is a solid…

donal_finn, 22 September 2009Over all i think it is safe to say that we are about fifty% of the way through our little build here. Quite happy with the way things are going progress wise and hope to…

donal_finn, 30 September 2009The air gap isn't really a problem though is it? Just the name is wrong, I assume that a foot deep of rockwool flexi is going to do the job just fine. when i tap the…
Ro, 30 September 2009yeah, it's just a "name" don't worry. the air cav will not give you problems but it is recommended to fill the whole corner in order to have more volume of wool and…
donal_finn, 30 September 2009Its all about the money here at the moment, So far i spent about €10000 (albeit 1/2 went on gear including some 10 lovely mics, did anyone else catch the RODE ONE DOLLAR…

xSpace, 24 October 2009Well, certainly. With a hard connection like this it is basically a free flowing exchange in any direction. I installed a fine glass and brass shelf in my woman's…
donal_finn, 25 October 2009Yeah, this is a situation i had not anticipated :( Indeed during the "test" the whole room especially the floor, did seem to be vibrating :( (still, vibrations and all…
