Linlai KT88 experience?
I’m not surprised on how the Linlai tubes are as good as they are. I’m running the Global E in your personal pre-amp you sold me & like them as much as all my NOS JANs in my stash. I’m curious on how they would stack up against the K&R kt8... 
Ultrasonic cleaning
I pre-wash with Grove Washer G2, then bathe for 10 to 15 min. in my Ultrasonic cleaner using Reverse Osmosis water. A+  
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?

Speaker Cable Recommendation
@tvrgeek, I use the 12/14&16 gauge for my basement setup, with nice results.  My main setup, I use, Furutech OCC wire. FS-36, made a significant improvement over the Monoprice 4/12 I was using before.

@martinman , Upgrading the PC, RCA’s, tonearm & also feet. All worth the time.  
New Technics SL-1200GR2
OK, I have an modded 1200mk2 since the early 80s & also have the GAE. I’ve done an arm swap on the GAE with an SME 309 & installed the GAE arm on my 1200, very noticeable difference over the stck arm w/wire upgrade. Now @billstevenson wrot...
