40khz vs 120khz or 40 plus 120khz US cleaning?
Thanks for the detailed response. I have been using my VPI to do a 3 step cleaning with products from Audio Intelligent. The guy who originally started the company was Paul Frumkin and posted here on Audiogon.  Most of my records have been cleane... 
Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops
New vinyl is not clean vinyl. The stylus creates static when you play the record as well. What is the humidity in your room?  
40khz vs 120khz or 40 plus 120khz US cleaning?
1) Clean LP on VPI 16.5 to get any major junk off. 2) Run 3 LP's at a time in Vevor 40khz tank with splash of 91% alcohol and small amount of Tritan x-100. 3) Rinse off on VPI and let air dry before placing back in sleeve. The tank I use now: ... 
40khz vs 120khz or 40 plus 120khz US cleaning?
I have to wonder if this would be a worthwhile investment being that I already have a 40khz unit?

Sharpertek said 450 for Ultrasonic and 400 for the heaters.  
40khz vs 120khz or 40 plus 120khz US cleaning?
I don't think it's ever been higher than 35c. I do at the most 20 records and stop. The process gets boring quickly.   
What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead?
I have the ASR. It's fantastic. I bought it a long time ago because of the battery and being totally balanced. DEAD quiet!  
40khz vs 120khz or 40 plus 120khz US cleaning?
I can give them a call. The spinner I use is set to the lowest speed which is about 8 minutes per revolution.  
40khz vs 120khz or 40 plus 120khz US cleaning?
Thanks for the replies. I currently use a 40khz tank and run it for about 25 minute with 3 records. I then use my VPI 16.5 to vacuum off the records.. The results are very good. I am interested in purchasing a 120khz tank to run after the 40khz cl... 
Kirmuss Ultrasonic record cleaner
Ultrasonic cleaning with a pure water rinse and vacuum. The time I spend cleaning the records is not an issue because the results are worth it. After 20+ years using the VPI 16.5 and the 3 step cleaning, I was completely amazed at the results usin... 
Great phono stage, with character, for a digital pre
Used 834p. You can then modify it with new caps. It's a really good phono. I would not buy a new one. Prices are way too high.   
Magnepan and Bob Carver Raven amps
He also sells Bat. He was a founder of the company. Geoff has had his hands in a lot of equipment.  
Magnepan and Bob Carver Raven amps
Glen Poor Audio sells Magnepan and Carver. I use heavily modified BAT VK-150's to drive my 1.7i maggies. You need a high current amp.  
Dynaudio customer service ignoring me
Dynaudio makes their own drivers. They are very high quality. I would not substitute them for another brand. I seem to remember Madisound would exchange drivers only a while back. I don't know if they still do that or not.  
Changed subs from speaker level to XLR after many years. Wow!
Just took a trip over to Guitar center and picked up a pair of Mogami Gold 10 ft XLR cables. Spent an hour using the onboard EQ on each sub and listened to a couple records. I must say that the difference very noticeable. Much tighter and deeper. ...
