Sina got a positive comment from, if I remember right, Jimmy Page for one of her Zep songs. She apparently got Bonham’s riff correct.

I am perfectly happy with my late 70s system. Probably $2500 total back then. About $11700 today. 😊

Since the late 60s my ultimate was the JBL Paragon. Never heard it. Never saw one in person. Still want one. I did recently have a pair of JBL L300. Loved them. Downsized house so they had to go. Since the mid 70s I have been using JBL L222 Disco.

JBL answered this teenagers snail mail letter in the late 60s. I was asking about a system I saw at a Dick Clark event.  Shortly after I bought my first pair of JBL. Dorian S12. I still have them. 😊 Wow, I just realized they are over 50 years old...
