    ACOUSTIC 260 it was.

    The last cover band I was in (senior year in high school), one of our guitarists had one of those for performances. He had an ACOUSTIC 160 (IIRC) for rehearsals.

    He was from a pretty well off family.

    The other guitarist and I only had one amp each. ?

    And the fact that he had his own mixer up on stage with him. Looked like it was going to that Acoustic amp behind him with the full range speakers. Appeared to be 2x15" and the horn. That was cutting edge for the time.

    ACOUSTIC 260 it was.

  4. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz   3.41 GHz on the non-DAW (was previously Win 7 DAW but upgraded to Win 10)
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz on the DAW

  5. All this talk makes me want to build a standalone studio on our property. I could make approx 18' x30' feet available with an 18'x12' control room. The natuaral layout of the land is such that the control room would raised about 2' from the main room. I'd have a 12' high ceiling in the control room and that means the main room would be 14' high (at least). 

    I could have it constructed such that the control room could be a kitchen & eating area and the main room could have a bathroom added to facilitate a "granny house" for the eventual next owner. At my age it's prudent to think ahead. 

    Now at $400 per sq ft here in California that amounts to $216K. I just know that would not be the final cost.

    So , the "brother can you spare a dime" saying is updated to "brother can you spare a half-mil"

    Out of curiosity, did they explain the reasoning for this? I checked out their site quick but didn't find a reference. In my experience, structural isolation has only had two applications - optics tables (specifically for high precision lasers so external/environmental vibrations do not transmit to the table), and sound isolation to prevent transmission of mechanical vibration to the walls (specifically machinery to the hull of a submarine). In neither case would sound within the room be affected, so it is intriguing me as to why it was recommended.

    From my understanding it is a popular method of sound proofing. there is at least 6" of space between the inner and outer room. It typically means you can standd right outside his house and hear almost nothing there (while blasting a Marshall stack on 11), conversely he record with mics and the lawn mower+leaf blower+road construction should not bleed into his studio,

    Now, inside his house, that may be another story.
