"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!

@unclewilbur 

...I tried to post a picture here, but it didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Try this:

1. Write your text.

2. Open a new browser tab and find a Photo already uploaded to the web. If you have an image you want to use it must be stored elsewhere on the web. Flickr and Imgur are two services that allow this, and can be free.

3. Right-click (Windows)/control-click (Mac) on the image

4. A pop-up menu appears
    select ‘copy image address’

5. Go back to your Audiogon post and click in top bar: 6th icon from left:

6. Dialog box appears: paste copied image URL in the box
    No need to do anything else.

7. Click OK

8. Post your response

@antinn Fascinating! I hadn't known of the Helios before, but found it on the SS special order page, where it is shown in the old-style body. I know of someone who has asked Peter if he would make a high-output Hyperion, and it seems he already does.

@antinn Heliios [sic]?  Have you moved on from the Sussurro Gold?

Streaming.

There's always one.

A clean record is a different issue as to how one protects the turntable against dust accumulation. I go to considerable lengths to clean my disks, but neither of my turntables has a lid. However, I have rather a lot of shaving brushes(!) and I have a 'Best Badger'—that I am uninterested in using for shaving—that I keep next to the blower brush. I use it to dust off the platter prior to a session, and on occasion to clean the tonearms, though rather carefully.

Nonetheless, @mylogic , it makes an excellent brush for dusting off the platter!
