TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
I should say, too, I don’t begrudge the mods/forum caretaker their very thankless endeavors. It’s just frustrating to see exchanges that prospective purchasers might find incredibly informative - the ‘I’ in FYI - find their way to the cutting room... 
TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
Apparently it’s more of an FYI Until Deleted forum - so FYIUD I guess.  
Why the cost increase?
Re: millercarbon’s prior post “Science? In Australia last week a health minister read off the following shocking statistic as if it didn’t matter: 140 out of 141 patients hospitalized had been fully vaccinated. 5 out of 4 in ICU were fully vaccina... 
any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with
Thanks @jjss49 - very helpful! 
Sota or Technics
@tyray - I think stereo5 is saying the aluminum arm on the 1210gr is said (not sure by whom) to be 85% as good as the magnesium arm on the 1200g. I’m not endorsing or disagreeing with the idea  - I have and like the magnesium arm, but haven’t any ...

@jjss49 - looking at your profile, I’m assuming you use the Morpheus for your primary dac. Just curious, is that night and day better than the dac in the hegel h160? Does the h160 have the most recent of hegel’s dac’s, do you know? Thanks.

Vinyl...should I stay, or should I go?
You mention just recently starting to give vinyl a try - is the cartridge through the break-in period, you think? I’m not familiar with the 17dx, but could imagine if you’ve less than 50 (+/-) hours into it, it may open up down the road. Can make ... 
Strong recommend: The HiFi Podcast with Darren & Duncan
+1 I’m about halfway through their episodes. Very entertaining and informative. Smart guys without ego. Not a complaint, but from what I’ve heard so far, I wish they’d spend a little more time on vinyl! 
New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
Fwiw, I went with the solution described in the first paragraph two posts above on bdp24’s reply. The VinylStack spinner is great, IMO. Have had good results. Tiny complaint, after about 3 hours of cleaning my US (6L size) heats up to 40C even wit...
