Very nice. I like the darkened room, you probably get not only great audio but also video performance out of that room. Congrats on the setup!

It does make a big difference, and the masking system really topped it off. A big added bonus with the dark room is listening to music in complete darkned it's a little tricky when listening to LP's.

I completely agree. I also listen to music in almost complete darkness. I find the entire experience much more engaging. There are no other sensory distractions, only the music. When it comes time to change the LP side I use a small flashlight.
Also, having a light controlled environment for the movies is also vastly superior to having the setup someplace with windows.

That is just a great room you have there, The denon, speakers, screen and pj are awesome. You must be very proud of it and I love the Dark room for 100% immersion

Thanks, I do enjoy a lot. I use it everyday, TV, movies, and music. I log 2000+ hrs a yrs, just on the projector alone.

I agree 100%, the darkness is very engaging.

I do have Lutron light control. Its just hard to remember what track the LP is on sometimes. So up goes the lights before the LP is over.
