Looking for advise and recommendations on a nice record cleaner.
After being frustrated with compromised cleaning solutions, I dove into a Kirmuss Ultrasonic  $1199.   It cleans 2 LP at a time and can do an amazing job of restoring records but is quite labor intensive. It often requires your attention for half ... 
Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers
Yes I understand.  It looks like I would need Couplers fro the Symposium shelf.  Also Rollerblocks with Tungsten bearing look interesting.  Chayro, any thoughts?  I have ordered Vibrapods just for fun to try your solution on the Oppo   
Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers
Thanks for all suggestions.  Chayro, I hadn't heard of the Symposium svelte shelves but looks like a good option as the principle of internal resonance control through heat dissipation is similar to Ansuz.  I might try to see how well it works.  A...

Nice sounding turntable but difficult to maintain.   I have one and would pay $200 for yours to use for parts.

Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC

Hard of Hearing Audiophile.
I too am a long time audiophile with hearing loss dropping off sharply 30-40db at 3k and above. After some years of fighting it, I got hearing aides from an audiologist and am now on a 2nd pair of the latest gen Widex. They are helpful for convers... 
Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio?
I am a long time audiophile with a moderately hi end system. I have had mild tinnitus and significant hearing loss for some time. My hearing drops about 35db from 2k to 3k. I went to a good audiologist 4 years ago, which I would highly recommend. ...
