Temperature of water for ultrasonic RCM
@dmk_calgary Ultrasonic activity can raise the water temperature by about 10-15° C. I guess it would just depend on how long you run the ultrasonic transducers and how large your ultrasonic tank is. I used to have a DIY 6L ultrasonic cleaner an... 
Temperature of water for ultrasonic RCM
The ultrasonic process in itself generates a fair amount of heat so just be mindful of that.  
To ROON or not to ROON ?
I have Roon and Qobuz. Coming from years of using JRiver Media Player, Roon is light years ahead in interface & ease of use. Plus Qobuz integrates seamlessly into Roon. I've found a couple new artists through this setup. I can't say whether it... 
Computer updated and now Roon is blocked
Have you rebooted your computer since the upgrade?   
Audio Rack Opinions
Arnold with Core Audio is great to deal with. He can even build you custom pieces as requested. I still have one of his original Core Audio MOD3 racks in Black Walnut. It is a great little rack. I had three of the MOD3 racks, but over the years I ...

Buckeye amps
There is a 93 page thread over at ASR. You can also email the owner. He is very responsive. I put down a deposit for a 6 channel Hypex model for upgrading my home theater. https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/buckeye-amps-new-... 
Need advice for a replacement phono cartridge
Can't comment on Koetsu. I'm a fan of Dynavector cartridges myself and they mate well with VPI. The XX-2 MkII is a great cart and probably the sweet spot in their line up.   
Hegel H590 integrated amp
The Hegel H590 was on my short list of integrated amplifiers, but in the end I went with a Boulder 866. Lack of Roon certification at the time was the killer for me ultimately. Not sure if the H590 has been Roon certified yet or not.  
Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output...
Boulder. All their gear is balanced, but their entry level phono is $5000 so there is that.  
Connections of Kimber Hero
Do you have the cable terminated to at least one RCA? You can use the continuity tester on a multimeter to determine which wire is signal and which is ground if so.  
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
Von Schweikert dB99 SE speakers. About 115 lbs per speaker. Also the tallest I've owned at about 43". Add a couple more inches due to the custom outrigger plinth I had made for it. I still miss these speakers.  
Recommendations for Earplugs That Work – Protect But Allow Music In
The best you're gonna do is to go see an audiologist and have custom ear plugs made for you. They should be able to mold them to your ear.
