| Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? The detergent that comes with the degritter is excellent. I have used Kodak Photoflow with my DIY ultrasonic tank but the degriiter's detergent solution really wets the lp very well. | |
| Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? 1) Cleans better. Less ticks and pops2) No assistance needed to get the lp to fit and rotate.

| Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers Single driver, no crossovers all the way. I'm open to adding supertweeters and subwoofers bit without a crossover to the single driver. | |
| SET 45 and their (real) required speaker efficiency Most 45 SET amps are about 1.5 watts output and 2 watts is really stretching it. Distortion of the amps gets very high near their max power. So really, with a 45 amp, you want to not exceed 1w and preferable at 0.5 watt or less.94.5dB even with 8 ... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? There isnt one...yet. I've tried First Watt F2J, SIT2. They come close but not quite there. The best and closest SS amp to SET 300B is the AGD Audion. Give that a try.I have it and sometimes rotate it with my Berning 300B OTL, Fi 421a, LadyDay 91a... | |

Thanks to Amazon, I ordered the Zyxel G.hn 2400 wave 2 powerline adapter. This is the fastest powerline adapter I can find 24... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio @arafiq If it were me, I would run it via a good quality (generic) cable from the router and use a LAN isolator followed by a short run of a basic audiophile LAN cable (for example Supra CAT8) from the isolator to the Node 2.Here is an example o... | |
