Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
1971 was the year I graduated from High School. Way too many good memories, along with the great music that I still play often! ozzy  
High Fidelity Cables?
68pete, As I remember, according to Rick, it was a newer version that was to be used more commercially with other manufacturer equipment. He asked if I would like to try that instead of the Q 45. Maybe that product never got developed further, I...

Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
I leveled mine by the base. The top would be difficult to level because of the slanted top. With the Townshend's that would be not needed. ozzy  
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
Never tried or heard of the Revopod, but with my Focal Sopra 2's I found the Townshend Podium #3 to be wayyy better than the Gaia 1's. They really transformed the sound quality i.e. bass and soundstage quality. Highly recommended. Ozzy

Cable supports on the cheap...
AudioQuest Fog Lifters are pretty inexpensive (8-$149) look kinda cool and seem to work pretty well. ozzy

Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I have tried so many cables through the years. I must admit I do like the Infigo Signature XLR and USB cables. Even though I had many problems with the distributor. They have a very dynamic sound quality that bettered anything I have tried or own... 
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.

Martin Logan vs. Everything
I have owned many dynamic type speakers throughout my life. But I do like the open Planar/Electrostatic sound. I like very much the Martin Logan or even the Magnepan sound, but there always seemed to be tradeoffs, especially in the bass. Never hea...

Tung-Sol kt170 tube started glowing brighter
kitegod, I have never used KT-170 tubes only the KT-120. Perhaps you can find a used KT-170 with low hours on it, I would definitely replace the one that you describe is glowing different than the others. Somewhere down the line, if you keep tha... 
Footers- Break In? Such A Change.
gbmcleod, You are right on. I just got some new very heavy (140lb ea.) amps and I waited until they were broken in before adding the CM footers. Now, with the footers underneath, they really add extra depth and realism. BTW, I have the CM under ...
