Record Cleaning Machines
You need to call Albert Porter at Porterhouse Audio. Before I bought my Degritter, he gave me the whole comparison. He is or was a dealer for all the top line ultrasonics. Without reservation, liked the sound of the Degritter the best. 
Are Lamm preamps hard on tubes?
Thank you @tomcy6 That's not what this post was about. I have been buying from Brent forever and he's one of the best humans in the business. Thanks to those who actually answered my question! Very helpful! Especially the part about cleaning the e... 
LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
I enjoyed one for years. Great synergy with the Well Tempered Amadeus.  
Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s?
I’ve never really understand the usefulness of blind tests. Do people actually know what they prefer in a short listening A-B session? It takes me a week of listening to determine if I like the sound of a component, unless it’s truly horrible or c...

Thanks @chayro! I’m plenty old and have been doing this for so long that I do know that. Also work tangential to the music business (feature film editor) and I have conversations with mixers and engineers all the time about how we all hear differe...

I have forgotten if some users have been banned for posting some issues they experience with their new speakers. Issues such as glue marks on the main driver and defects on cabinet etc. This is an interesting issue when you think about it. It’s to...

Completely agree yet this discussion is not about ‘routine’ amplifiers.

Very interesting perspective! Thanks. I will check out cable co and see what they have to loan. Certainly worth a try!

Thanks for the suggestion re: AU24s. I use the Audience Ohno already. While there may be a big difference, it would cost an arm and a leg because I need 5M runs. Seems like the best money is still to be spent on an amp.

Had one. Hated it. Exactly the opposite of the sound I enjoy but that’s just my ears.

I worship the ML1.1s but our 700 sq ft loft is just too small!

@honeyooi been down the cartridge route. Spent thousands and always prefer the tone of the 103R, although now I use an Anamighty-built one that costs quite a bit. I have never found a cartridge that duplicates that tone…. with the right SUT of cou...

Thanks and sorry, I should have mentioned that I’m stuck with the 30.1s due to space limitations that require me to move the speakers in and out each time I listen. I will buy the 40s in a heartbeat if we ever move! 
Harbeth 30.1, 30.2, XD
LS5/5s are ridiculously good. That's a future purchase for sure, job willing.
