It's been a fun project, and really is rewarding to listen to!

Here are the amplifiers out in the garage (no fan noise, no heat in the room)...amplifiers are on home brew sequencers, which allow source equipment to stabilize, and then amps come on in two stages....

Equipment is all racked up, and amplifiers are in the garage in a 7' rack. The Sony TA-E9000ES and TA-P9000ES have both needed work, one I had to swap the power supply on (Sony is notorious for...

We also lowered the shelf in the bay window, and made a padded seat for "spill over seating". I installed new trim to dress up the window nice. Those with sharp eyes will notice fiberboard below...

Thanks for watching...updates should come quicker now that I have more free time.

This weekend a friend called with a lead on a JBL 3635 theater subwoofer. After a few quick texts and a short drive, I parted with $250, and secured what will become the center sub for Relyea Cinema...

So a few plan changes here at Relyea Cinema 1. My new bride made the executive decision that we will move the back door from the theater into the kitchen. We are expanding the riser into that...

Hello again everyone. I'm once again under construction here, rebuilding the theater in my new home.
