Sorry to hear about the flood. I went with LVT wood look flooring and have a couple area rugs in key places. Sounds great. Ditched the spikes and went with de-coupling. Another improvement. Good luck!

Decouple the mains and sub system. That will make a big difference.. I lost a record collection 37 years ago behind a refrigerator water supply line. There are still 300 400 LPs down there waiting for a clean up.. I was sick for 5 years.. It got my whole Beatles collection 45 and 33s and all of my Chet Atkins. Merle made it, thank god.. Regards
