why expensive streamers
grislybutter I just don't get the $1,000 vs $20,000 streamer argument.  Have you tried listening for yourself, perhaps at a dealer who's willing to demo?  
Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure
maxdukecapone Many high-end audio will have a model where they use a battery to clean up power. There are? Aurender and Esoteric come to mind. Those are usually the top models, too. Usually the battery's sole purpose is to ensure an orderl... 
ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records
mswale You are more likely to damage a record with manual cleaning than the ultrasonic machine. That's very likely true, but in this case we don't know much about the machine he's using. Perhaps he's rigged a commercial machine intended fo...

lewm Cleeds, I drive a well known German automobile. Can you name it with any certainty? No. Of course not. That’s my point. I don’t understand the coy secrecy here. dwcda I’m guessing based on the specs it’s a Humminguru. Of course e... 
Looking For Technicans That Would Rewire A SME V
pindac It would help if the OP was given a guestimate of the time the Tonearm was with the service doing the work. A very expensive to replace Tonearm out in the world of the Cottage Industries can be a worrying experience, make that period ext... 
ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records
antinn The machine @pfmaudio is using based on the power, kHz and volume is a well-known unit (he has decided not to disclose the OEM ... That doesn’t make sense. Something cannot be "well known" and undisclosed at the same time.  
Looking For Technicans That Would Rewire A SME V
I think Steve at VAS would be willing to use any wire or connector that you prefer. He and Ray are great guys - you might want to give 'em a call.

I’ve used the Klaudio US cleaner without issue for years. It sounds as if the OP problems may be from using some US cleaner that’s been adapted from another purpose. He’s being a bit secretive, so it’s impossible to know for sure.  
Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions
tony1954 I own a condo with a concrete floor, a concrete ceiling and a concrete wall between the electrical panel and all the relevant outlet. Even if I wanted to, I am not sure it would be practical ... If that’s the case, there’s probably a ... 
Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT

How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor?
gemoody ... Purchased the unit from Crutchfield. Best price ... You acknowledge you chose Crutchfield for "best price." Now, you want "best service" by having them accept a return past the return period. Do you see the problem here?  
Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II
ghdprentice I would recommend the most current Audio Research phonostage you can find. SP8 would be great… or SP7 or SP6. Those are full function preamps. The SP7 is solid state. I think @ghdprentice is really recommending the PH6/7/8 phono s... 
12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?
ristrettox6 Sounds like I unintentionally stirred up a bee hive! I can feel the seething resentment and condescension from most of you. I have no idea why you are so filled with venom! ... To those who offered their snarky elitist derision, tha... 
Discogs now block images of record covers!
czarivey ... something we've never thought of banning before. They're not "banned." They're readily available. Controversial record covers are nothing new. Remember the Beatles' butcher block cover? Blind Faith? LZ's Houses of the Holy?  
Importance of clocking
nigeltheflash ... it takes two to argue. I'm merely reasserting my position every time you reassert yours ... Wow. This could go on forever.
