I tried it on a copy of John Mayall's Blues From Laurel Canyon that looked new, but was super noisy and that is playing a lot better.

The KL Audio seems to work fine. I put one of the free records in it and it cleaned up really nice. I love how easy it is to use. Drop a record in, walk away, a few minutes later there's a clean and dry record.

Not yet Steve.  Probably later this afternoon.  House cleaning and the Seahawks take precedence.

Thanks James! I picked it up about 6 years ago for 5 bucks. A little surface noise, but still a great listen.  
Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL
There's no accounting for taste, mine included.  I actually like it, except for the big Fender logo.  It would look much cleaner without it.  Would I pay that much for it?  Not a chance.

I just added a pair of CS 2.3 speakers to my collection and was pleasantly surprised.  I've read that they need tons of power, but they seem to do fine with my Herron M1 150 wpc monoblocks.  I've been in love with my KEF Reference 1 speakers since... 
What are you streaming tonight?
Donald Fagen's - The Nightfly Live, Qobuz Hi-Res.  Why this isn't featured on the front page of Qobuz' new releases is beyond me.

What a weekend! Picked up some new to me Thiel 2.3 speakers and a KL Audio LP 200 ultrasonic cleaner, but haven't had much time with the speakers and the US cleaner is still in the box. Madeleine Peyroux - Secular Hymns. 
Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above
I have a Sapphire on order. I have a number of cartridges and was excited to find a NOS Jelco 750D so that i can easily swap them out.  
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly, SACD.  Wow!  This is one of my all-time favorite records and I noticed a couple of things I hadn't before.  Playing on my cheapo Japan import  Onkyo DV-SP205FX.
