| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? @mikelavigne I collected almost all of the Classic Record sets but passed on the 45 LZ suitcase because I had all the other LZ editions.... What a mistake! How does the 45 LZII rate against the LZII RL SS? | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? @mikelavigne I have a sneaking suspicion that eventually, Chad at Acoustic Sounds will get the rights from Jimmy to reissue the Classic 45's of Zep. After buying Classic Records, Chad probably has all the Classic master tapes. | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables Townshend Audio F-1 Fractals. I have a pair and they are excellent. And the way they treat their copper wires, the length doesn't matter. Nor if 1 cable length is different from the other. | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Yes. The AV/2Ch set up can be excellent. If you need a great AV processor, I'd look into a gently used Classe SSP-800 on EBay.

| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps I just blew out my Jeff Rowland Model 201 stereo amp power modules by plugging in the IEC into the amp when the power cable was plugged in. Make sure the power is off to the power cable before plugging in the IEC to your amp. | |

| Stack Audio Auva Isolator @facten Sorry. I went by the online picture. @ozzy John at Townshend said it was essential to use the correct cells on the podiums. Too bad the Townshend’s don’t fit your new speakers as all you’d have to do is order E or F cell pods($100?) and ... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Speakers and components vibrate from sonic waves to each of them and they each vibrate from within. Spikes are hard coupling to the floor and rack while heavy springs are decoupling. Science should be able to show the difference between the two.... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I have, but have not yet used, Townshend Seismic speaker podiums. I too have Townshend Isolation Corners on my Sound Anchors rack and pods under subwoofer, amps and componenents. My 150 lb.speakers currently use those spikes that fit into metal di... | |
