Whats on your turntable tonight?

Joel,

Using a handheld steamer found fairly inexpensively on Amazon with some cleaning fluid.

When all considerations are taken, IMO, steaming a record is THE most effective way to clean a vinyl record. The problem is it's more time consuming, and it requires a small learning curve. With logic as a guide, the learning curve is small.

I'm on my third US cleaner.....Audio Desk, Chinese DIY, now the Vibrato.
I find I still benefit from steaming on certain ticky records. ( now this may not be the case with your 120 khz  Degritter?) I started with the Mapleshade steamer over 10 years ago and have run through 4 or 5 since. 

I use Audio Intelligent "Down With Dirty" concentrate dilluted with distilled water to spread over the record, then steam off.

I can go through my process and guide you towards a steamer if you're interested further on a PM.

Brian,

Regarding sub settings/placement, I don't mess with them until I feel there's a need.

Now with accessories, there's a wanting to see if an improvement can be had. For me, if I have a strong feeling that I'm missing something, I think it's more than "just because">😅

Yep, as soon as I get the Hagerman, I’ll be tempted immediately to tube roll, as I’ll be thinking I’m missing something better even if it blows my socks off with the ‘stock’ tubes.
