Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?
@dardemm I have that unit and the CSPort IME1. Both work great. The SPI is not as convenient to place, you’ll have to rig something up to reach platter. The base is odd too with it resting only on those two thin metal rails you see. Also prefer th... 
KLaudio or Degritter Mark II
Keep in mind the Degritter might be half the cost of the KL but I believe the life expectancy of the KL is much greater than the Degritter (according to some power user shops using them). In the end the price per clean with KL is likely less than ...

For those that doubted my story, several other customers have had the same experiences since I posted. This includes a good customer like me who also had his speakers stolen and sold to someone else. I’ve heard Viking is now out of business.

@souljasmooth the closure is Viking stole my speakers.   
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
@mlsstl you are not missing anything. Speakers were shipped to me in thin cheap $3 cardboard boxes that were way undersized vertically. The top of the horn, which extends above the speaker, was literally 1” or less from the top of the box. When I ...

May 25th Viking said they refunded my CC. However, Viking doesn’t even have my CC number. Then they said they mailed a refund check. Nothing has been received by me.     
DS Audio Ionizer for analog Playback
I have the CSPort, similar device. Not only does it work perfect for removing static but it also sounds better. Subtle but noticeable.

I just want to address these cables Viking mentions. Back in guessing around 2016 I had all Allnic electronics and cables. David asked to send me his speaker cables to try if I paid up front. I did that, tried them for a couple days, preferred my ...

I will make @vikinghorn an offer. Donate all the thousands you owe me to my local animal shelter. That way you don’t "lose" by giving me the money back. I’ll even let you have the tax deduction.

And I will reiterate for the umpteenth time that obviously lots of bad things were happening in the world with COVID-19 so I never pressured you, never got angry with all the delays, never once said one thing!    
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
No, I did not change my mind. Let me remind you of what actually happened with the TubeMasters. I said I wanted solid color cherry front baffle (as in no blonde streaks or crazy grain) and you said no problem. You built those speakers and the wood...

@vikinghorn there were no inflammatory remarks. You are lying AGAIN. If anyone wants the exact email PM me and I will fwd it to you. This is insane.      
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
@vikinghorn notice how I never have said your speakers don't sound good? I won't, because they do. However, can anyone look at those pictures and tell me that is what is expected of a $15k retail speaker? It's horrible, garbage. I am baffled how y...

Email received 3 days ago from @vikinghorn    Derek, Please remove inflammatory posts on A-Gone and What's Best. Correction:  boxes were from Bubbles and Boxes not Home Depot. You didn't mention that the speakers were returned broken. We are...
