Nitty Gritty's FIRSTrv pre-cleaner ???
I still have one full container of the original (banned) First record cleaner. It's my original world class standard for removing mold release and stubborn deposits. Unfortunately it became impossible to continue manufacturing after the EPA began ...

GenesisBTW the SP10 MK2 can be a very nice sounding table. What are you going to use as a plinth? Pls let me know how you like the sound.One of the guys in my audio group is a fine furniture builder by trade. He and I came up with a design based o... 
Experience with Raul's Essential 3150
Is the new 3160 model a circuit change or cosmetic? I ask because when Raul was here I ask why the umbilical cords were mounted on the front rather than the rear. Visually it was unappealing and Raul said he planned to change that in the new model...

Thanks for the link. I'm currently building up a Technics SP10 and enjoyed viewing some of the cosmetic touches these audiophiles came up with. 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Yep, that would indeed a problem. Maybe Stealth would deliver them new with the ground floated? Then again, some lawyer somewhere would sue them for delivering an unsafe product.Funny thing is, my home was built in the 1950's and until I redid my ... 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
I remove the ground inside the power cord at the IEC connector (the end that plugs into the equipment). I leave the ground connected to the wall socket and that end of the power cord as well. The ground wire inside the AC cord benefits from having... 
Best "New" Acoustical Treatment Science Advance
Sol322,Sol, your idea really shines. Cryo-treated Horse traps would be the cats meow (or maybe the horses neigh). We need a way to promote this, maybe with a give away to keep customers thinking about us.Wonder if there would be any interest in go...

Unsound, I think more likely pure SS. We're talking sheep here, not bulls. 
Best "New" Acoustical Treatment Science Advance
Jkalman, that's sage advice. In fact, It inspired me to come up with a great promo item to help you spread the word about your room treatment. Print up a batch of black T shirts with year round calendar and tupping days highlighted in red. This hi...

The size of your room would determine what combination of farm animals would work best. They do the same thing in normal homes as they do in barnsExactly.Do you throw in a bottle of Fabreze? 
Best "New" Acoustical Treatment Science Advance
Any hidden costs on the Horse Trap or does it come with all the mane parts? I ask because not everyone can pony up. What's return policy if the WAF is neigh?Farm animals are ideal to treat barns (as you experienced), but what about treating a regu... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
Not surprised by 1markr comments. Although Gary recommended the JJ Tesla E34L, the SED is the second tube I mentioned in my post, almost identical ideas about what's good.I have not heard the new JJ KT77's, they are probably excellent, perhaps Gar... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
Well Jim, it turns out the same new production tube (and available for cheap price) is the same one I recommended earlier in this thread. The Tesla E34L. Gary Dodd lives about 15 minutes from me and has told me face to face on more than one occasi... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
I do appreciate it much. The EL34's application is bias dependant? Huh. Yes indeed. For instance, the bias point of EL34 tubes run in triode compared to Tetrode can be different. The bias point of Mullard EL34 tubes in the Tube Research GT400 (ye... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
The best ever EL34's in my opinion is a toss up between Genelex KT77 and Mullard EL34 (XF1 or XF2).Lots of other NOS varieties were made and many of those are better than current production.Of current production my favorite is Tesla E34L, and then...
