How large is your music collection?
About 2500-3000 lps and near 100 cds plus about 100 cassettes which still get played on the bedroom system (proton player, onkyo receiver and EPI 100 speakers). 
Do power cables mAke difference on powered woofer
Gauge makes a difference on my Art of Sound sub. Nothing less than 12ga and copper work best. Silver plating seems to take away a bit of impact. However, realize that I am using mine for HT only. 
cheap/decent speaker cable and interconnect advice
I use the same Vampire Wire 12ga continuous cast non-descript speaker wire. I got mine directly from Sound Connections. 
What isolation feet to use??
Herbie's is a place to contact. Steve is very helpful. I use various isolation devices of his under different components including speakers and turntable. 
Where are you buying new vinyl?
No local B&M stores carry any new vinyl here. 1.5 hours away in Peoria, there's a couple of stores w/new and when I visit relatives in Dayton, OH there's a store which has a ton of new vinyl. There's a store in Iowa City also. I'm sure there m...

VdH optocoupler. A cut above. 
Vintage receiver 2 phonos
My Sansui AU D-11 integrated has two phono inputs. Perhaps their receivers do too. 
Can B&K 307 support Blu Ray Players?
I use a bluray player with my B&K 317 (factory upgraded 307). I simply use the digital coax input. I'll upgrade the 317 at B&K as soon as the new audio processors are available. 
Stylus Force Gauge
I'm yet another owner of the one from Sorasound. 
Any love for the new Elvis Costello?
I'm an EC fan since the very beginning. Looking forward to the new music. I hope it's in vinyl. I tried to watch the Spectacle show, but couldn't choke it it down. 
whats the best way to reglue record covers
I use my kid's school glue sticks. They work very well. 
Heads up: New Marshall Crenshaw CD
Any chance there'll be vinyl? 
Review: Van Den Hul Orchid Interconnect
Thanks for the review. I seriously considered the Orchid between my TT and integrated before settling on the Integration. I'm very happy with the sound and thanks to your review there's support for my belief that I made the right choice.
