The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
mijostyn -  Thanks very much.  I placed my order.  
Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable?
dweller - I have a Zero Stat gun.  Good suggestion.  I'll try it. erik_squires - point well taken.  Still might be worth trying Mikelavigne - I'm assuming the "fan" is more like a very gentle breeze, but your point is well taken.  What is the na... 
The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
I want to try this formula.  I acquired the alcohol.  I have not found anyone who will sell me Tergitol 15-S-7 because I am not from a laboratory.  Any suggestions on how I can acquire this?  
Stereo or monoblocks
@chocaholic I know the increased wpc had everything to do with why my music sounds better on my system.  The mono blocks in my case provided greater wpc.  To your point, I have seen mono blocks that have quite low wpc, but I think that is the exce... 
Stereo or monoblocks
A little late on this chain, but I recently changed from a stereo amp to mono blocks. I have power hungry Magnepan 20.7's.  I had a McIntosh 462 stereo amp that supplied 450 wpc.  It worked well.  However, I decided to go mono blocks more out of c...

russ69 Why do you think I’d like the Parasound JC1’s? I looked at them briefly.  Nice price point.  What have you heard them drive?  
Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's
I have a wide variety of music taste.  I have a vast LP collection; large CD collection.  My turntable is a Linn with most of current components.  I have a Mc MVP 891 that I had upgraded with special caps etc.  My room is treated to my satisfactio... 
Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's
jjss49 I can see why you would say that.  Right now I'm looking for feedback on the differences mono's might have on my existing speakers.  As I said, I love my 20.7's.  They put out sound quality beyond their price.  If I'm convinced the mono am... 
Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's
My next big improvement to my system will be to invest in speakers in about the $50 to $60K range.  And, I would definitely want mono-blocs for them.  My estimate of range of cost came from Paul McGowan's book on sounds systems.  He suggests 40 to...

Thanks peoples.  ghdprentice, (or anyone else) what would be your idea of a brand change that would produce a noticeable difference in terms of mono-blocs that are not McIntosh? and, why, of course.

I did not necessarily mean Mc mono-blocks.    
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
I own a Linn.  The design is about as basic as you get.  It does not have the flash some of the new models I've seen for sale.  But, as for sound output and with the right cartridge and pre-amp, it competes with anything.  I've done upgrades from ... 
Thorens, TD-125 MKII
Thank you.  I have passed on your experience with this.  He is grateful! 
Zappa Recommendations ?
My favorite Zappa album was Overnight Sensation.  Just brilliant.
