Hi Rob,
I really enjoyed your soup to nuts segment on soundproofing. It was very informative and nicely distilled a lot of information that would otherwise required hours of research on forums (eg. Avsforum) and many other websites.
I have a modest theater in my basement in which I unfortunately did not do much soundproofing. Oh well… will do for theater 2.0 someday.
You and Liz made for a great podcast!

Hey thanks, Allen! I really appreciate your feedback and I’m so happy that at least one person liked my geek out session on soundproofing :p I think Liz was about to pass out after 20 min of me talking straight. And Tom would have been shooting daggers at me through the Skype chat if not muting me altogether in the edit…lol !
There was so much good info though – stuff I’d want to know myself – so that’s why I talked so long about it. Honestly didn’t feel as long as it was!
