Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II
The HEM company in Poland that they split off of I bet could fix it. They have actually put out a software release subsequent to what the official Mytek has released. My guess is that in addition the split and underlyign financial reasons, Michal ...

Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers
Another vote for Audio Note. I have the AN-E Spe-He's  
Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy
Not sure why anyone would play a warped record at 45 RPM on a $2,000 cartridge but maybe that's just me.  I have used a Cadenza Bronze on my VPI Prime (standard arm) for 2 years and play exclusively older records from the 50s-60s and never had a p...

Lysol disinfecting wipes for odors, etc.I also clean up glossy, laminated covers with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge. 
Rega P5 Benz Micro Glider, Ace, or Stay w/Exact?
I have a P5 and all I listen to is 50-70s jazz. I would also recommend the Dynavector 20XH if that option exists for you. I have also heard good things about the Benz. 
Good Sound Quality From 10 Inch Records?
Nope.My experience is the material used on those 10" is different from the vinyl from the mid-50s onwards used on LPs.It seems much more brittle and easier to scratch, hence the poorer sound on average.
