I see in a lot of posts here about using Rockwool. What is it and what's a source for it? I did a search on the net for it and only gave me sites on hydroponic plant growing.

Carl, go here
http://www.ask.com/
and type in "mineral wool insulation" - (without the quotes, of course) - You'll get a bunch of things to look at.
Rockwool, if I'm not mistaken, is sort of a trade name of one (forget which) of the manufacturers. some use slag mixed with rock products, others just crushed and spun rock, etc - all similar in acoustic properties, but some differences. Mineral wool is the more generic term... Steve
