Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner Pro - Drying Issue
As an aside, may I also suggest reading anything you can find by @Whart (Bill Hart of The Vinyl Press) or @Tima (Tim Aucremann) -- either here or elsewhere-- on the overall subject of record cleaning and most recently the implementation of ultraso... 
Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner Pro - Drying Issue
The general response on this issue is with regard to the shape and age of the white wipers (something I assume you’ve investigated). If not, there’s been quite a bit already written on this already just a google away. Another factor to consider is... 
Anybody Listen Voxativ?
I just had a wonderful experience with another potential Voxativ owner who flew into Dallas from San Diego yesterday to listen to my 9.87 system. I'm not a dealer - so can't directly help you there - but am happy to accommodate other curious liste... 
Anybody Listen Voxativ?
For a long time, I was the typical sealed-box-low-efficiency-multiple-driver speaker + solid state type of Hifi listener. Usually UK brands. I was happy, because I didn’t know any better. I started traveling to shows around the world and by chance... 
Synergistic FEQ, Black Box or Atmosphere?
I asked this same question of Ted Denney (lead designer at SR) at a recent show. I had level 5 HFT and FEQ. He advised Black Box then Atmosphere as next steps.Alfred provides some of the best service in the industry - definitely reach out to him.-... 
To all LP12 aficionados
Radikal 
Keith Jarrett &Charlie Haden: Last Dance. Stellar.
According to amazon.de, this will also get a vinyl release in the fall. I love ECMs return to vinyl releases on select classics and certain new releases. 
Anyone with experience on Linn's new sub chassis?
I'll be going for it as well - right after a Radikal :) 
Longish speaker cable
I'm running 10 m worth of Nordost Leif series Purple Flair with good results. Had the same dilemma as you - but worse. Compromises are always tough to swallow. 
The best of the ECM label
The best way to enter ECM's rather dense (but musically nutritious) catalog is to initially browse, discover an album or song of interest - then identify the musician(s) who seems to be most responsible for your enjoyment. At that point, use them ... 
Hannl RCM users: Anyone using the Circular Brush?
Anyone? 
I was kidnapped by apes - DeVore Gibbon88s
Actusreus: the 88s I listened to had been run in past 300 hours. They sounded very open and effortless. Apparently, the break-in stage is the trick (according to my dealer who had spoken with John DeVore). 
Anyone tried the Lyra Kleos in a Linn EKOS SE?
I'm running a Lyra Dorian for now on my Ekos SE. The Kleos is next, but not until after a Radikal. Otherwise, very happy. 
Record Cleaning Machines: Hannl or Typhoon
I went from a VPI 16.5 to a Hannl Micro EL (which in most ways is like the newer Mera minus the mounted brush/fluid pump). It's an incredibly well-made and versatile machine offering changes in speed (slower for vacuum/faster for brushing) as well... 
LINN MAJIK LP12 PACKAGE
If considering a wall shelf - you owe it to yourself to try Quadraspire's new(ish) Q4evo Bamboo. It sounds great and looks sharp too IMHO.
