best way to clean Grado Sonata
Linn used to hand out matchbooks I am told with their logo on it as stylus cleaner given that your stylus was well made and they knew theis were.Try 300 grit paper.Or Extremphono has a gel which is much cheaper than the one recently favorably ment... 
TUNERS..anyone?
Get a Fanfare antenna what ever you get (if you can put it on ecves of house or maybe even attic-hell if my I'd mount it on side of apartment building).They are amazing.I stumbled on Yamaha T2 which years ago wasn't cheap at $750 but has turned in...

Didn't notice your post and put another asking same thing on behalf of a freind who is almost ready to jump on Black Cube with extra power supply here on 'Gon for really good price of $330 but saw same review and was wondering if anybody has heard... 
MC Cartridge Suggestions?
How 'bout a Van Den Hul Frog ($2500) for less than $1500???I know somebody who can get insane deals on them.Also look at 2Juki here on 'Gon.He has the Ortofon Jubillee ($1800) for $750 new (but not sure if new is new or re-tip- his prices have big... 
Tuner in the 600 range for classical music?
Cult Tuner-Yamaha T2-Poor Mans Dynalab-looks great works like a charm.If you want high selectivity (even at expense of sensitivity) look for an NAD or Nakamichi ST7.Also get a Fanfare Antenna.For $89 you get a whip Antenna that mounts on side of h...

Anybody who has experice with multi arm tables??
4YanxThat does sound pretty sweet.My pre that's coming does not have remote but hey gotta get up and change the arms (let alone the records).My two issues now that I may have to navigate on my own or through mods with Mr.Elliot will be whether to ...

Agreed,I think that the bad reviwes though where folks have either bought products are better indicators than the 'Aren;t I a genius with golde ears" ones.But you do have to wonder why they might trash something. 
Cleaning Vinyl
Think that 50% alcohol might be too much.Empty gallon of distilled watter into container pour in one pint of alchohol 2-3 drops of clear dish liquid and photoflow.Works great.I use Last Power Cleaner on really gummed up LP's or if there not I just... 
Male Jazz singers - any recommendations?
JSBail isright on."Ballads Blues and Bey" with just Andy Bey singing and acompanying himself on paino.All ballads made more poingnant when you learn that he came out of closet and and has AIDS.Not that I have to qualify these observations on telli... 
Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS.
Overall go fed-ex/While both are to big to give alays reliable service I did get a refund for a pair of broken tubes in two weeks instead of the 6 I thought it would take.Plus they are very aggressive in their pricing vs UPS.Even at home (if you a...
