Whats on your turntable tonight?
I just set up the Zu Denon DL-103 that Andy Kim recently refreshed on the Wow XL. 10CC - The Original Soundtrack promo copy. Sounds great right off the bat. It will be interesting to see how it sounds after it breaks in a little. 
I have a serious phobia problem with cleaning records
I have a VPI 16.5. I’ve never had a record sound or look worse after being cleaned. In general with most records, cleaning doesn’t make a huge difference in sound quality (although the US guys claim greater improvements), but there have been times...

The Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream.  This one had a little distortion in the right channel in spots, otherwise played like NM.  Going in the bin though.

Steve, the Wow is set up in the same place as the VPI.  I wasn't sure it would be able to handle the location, but it does fine there.  I moved the VPI into my computer room for now.  I may end up keeping it.  Thinking about selling my vintage JVC...

I'm enjoying it Steve. I think the Classic 2 and the Wow are very close in terms of sound quality. I might keep both.

Master Clock questions - cable length etc
Your speakers are more resolving than mine and perhaps your hearing is better than mine, but if there's any difference at all it's minimal.The purpose of a Master Clock is to control multiple devices and sync them together, thus all the inputs on ...

I tried both a 50 ohm and a 75 ohm cable with my CG-10M. I can't really detect any difference. Having said that, I couldn't really tell much if any difference adding the CG-10M. To be blunt, I think the NT-505 is excellent, the Master Clock howeve... 
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
@rareace I tried a lot of things to make the Node sound better and some helped (an external DAC made a noticeable difference). I'll have to take your word that a PSU somehow magically transforms a mediocre streamer and DAC into something magnifice... 
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
@vinylshadow Lumin and others make streamers only. I was seriously considering the UI Mini before I bought the TEAC. The biggest downside to the TEAC is that there is no digital out, so you are committed to its DAC. It has a great DAC though.
