| CleanerVinyl Ultrasonic record cleaning system. Have been using a 10L tank and hand turning the records on a homemade spindle, but only as a rinse with distilled water. Using AI products, somewhat highly concentrated "Down with Dirty" followed by #15. I allow each to sit on the record surface 3... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 I really need to get out more. There are so many speakers/products that I would love to hear. Being out of the hobby for so many years before deciding to put together a system I have missed the evolution of music reproduction. The Boenicke W5 seem... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 The surprise factor of an ultra small speaker talking big can be and probably is an element in the wow factor experienced by the OP. Admittedly, to get some great timbre and believable music from such a small package is quite remarkable. The price... | |
| THE WALL---Why? terry9,Have a BPT 3.5 Sig+ for my front end. Changed things substantially for the better. My 60 Watt mono blocks are across the room, into the wall. I'm sold on balanced power but what capacity do I need for the amps? My speakers are high efficien... | |
| Your first component that was "special" Pair of Mcintosh MC 275s in 1972. | |

| Power conditioner help Run your front end with balanced power. Amps, you can choke them if they are high power amps but the front end is hugely better with balanced power. | |

Should I run the amps [Mcintosh MC 60s] full out with the gain controls available on each amp and use a lesser level of volume on my preamp,[Zesto Leto tube pre]? D... | |

| LP Cleaning I have a pretty large ultrasonic bath that I absconded from my dental office. I use the Audio Intelligent cleaners, basically just apply and let it stay on the surface 5 minutes of so, with light brushing. Then I wash under a faucet and immediatel... | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? Once again Ralph makes a good point. I have Zu speakers that love tubes. They are fast and immediate for sure, and run tubes all the way through. BAT-Zesto-Mac MC 60s and believe it or not there isn't a euphonic excess to be had. So IMO the speake... | |
| cable connector cleaner/contact enhancer Use Kontak here. But my research led me to believe that the lack of residue, over time would be worth it. | |
| Which Zu for you I admire your restraint. I'm you I save for the Druids. Personally own the Def 1V and Omen 1B. |
