New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
"No way I am putting Texas tap water on my LP’s."My tap water isn't great either. It's not about the quality of the tap water, though filtering can be used to improve it, but rather what the water does under high pressure to clean the record. I st...

Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting?
Yes, it is pretty easy to tell when someone is foreign to the English language. It's also pretty easy to tell when a native speaker of English is also foreign to the language. None of it really matters though. If you apply the principle of charity...

ASR Emitter Exclusive II. I've owned mine now for nearly nine years, and it isn't going anywhere. About 35K new or thereabouts.

Replace a Rogue Tempest with Cayin CS845A, Ayon Triton 2, Unison Research, or Mastersound?

Wow! This is all terribly exciting! I had not really heard about Line Magnetic, but you've all set me off researching and listening through Youtube, and I must say I'm overjoyed at what I'm hearing. Thanks for all the terrific recommendations. Kee... 
Used speakers: Cleaning tips?
"WOW an answer to a post 10 1/2 years later!!!"Well, I got the information that I used to get these cloths from this and other related threads from the same period. It makes little sense to start a  new thread regarding a product that's been disco... 
Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
