Anybody using the last record preservative
@billstevenson I use the Kirmuss KA-RC-1 on ever record and then treat with LAST great combo and after treating just give my LPs and occasional bath in the KA-RC-1 and freshen up the LAST treatment. Love it.    
Power cable Advice...
@derekw_hawaii  Why yes you are, or the tap water is going to be safer. I also do not want to live where they use iron pipe for drinking water.   
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?
Sure why not? Worse they can do is say no.   
Roon and qobuz update problem?
Yuck Roon, dumped it years ago even though I have a lifetime subscription. 100% Innuos with the Zenith MKIII and the Sense application and updates are never an issue. Will be interesting to see if the new ownership at Roon makes things better or w...

Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
@mahgister Thank you, I actually enjoy the challenges and doing more with less$$$$ is quite gratifying. I also have a wife that would kill me if I spent even $120k on my systems. Personally we enjoy doing charitable work, traveling, will have more...
