How many LPs do I have to clean to claim the $50? :-)

All I can say is that before I jumped into the higher end I did not own, nor did I listen to, any jazz or classical music. I have about 2000 records now and the fastest growing part of my stash is jazz and classical music. For me, high-end stereo ...

I still want to know how good that mammoth bone sounds. Did we gloss over that?!?

do record cleaning fluids soften the treble?
I can understand a solution leaving behind things that fill the tiny grooves that represent the HF information. I'm not understanding how cleaning can soften bass. But then, that is not what I hear, and I prefer to clean all of my LPs. FWIW, YMMV,...

I have had the opportunity to set up and hear the A90 a few times over the last few weeks. The sound is very good. What is a little nagging are reports that the QC is not quite what it should be and there are variations in samples. If anyone has t...

BTW, Intactaudio, the step ups made it to New England with no problems. AND, TSA didn't take my vinyl. I attribute this success to a good,long soak with an approved audiophile enzyme cleaner. ;-)
