Thanks Antinn.  I appreciate the information.@rajivhifi - Agreed about the shipping cost but given how little you have to use it should last a long time.

I'm using 10 drops of Tergitol 15-S-9 per gallon of distilled water.  But I'm new to ultrasonic record cleaning so that might be the wrong amount.

New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
Skypunk: You were right about the fast shipping.  I got mine in two days.  This machine is excellent.  For those of you who may be on the fence about a purchase, if this machine becomes available again at the same price buy it.  It really does wor... 
New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
I ordered it. I’ve never used an ultrasonic record cleaner before. I’ve only got about 2000 records so I wasn’t sure if this made sense for me. We’ll see. To the OP: thanks for making us aware of this. 
Recommendations for a modestly priced analog system
I have the Cary SLP98P.  I used it for many years until I recently went to a Cayin integrated.  The phono stage on the Cary is good but I much prefer my EAR834P (RIP Tim de Paravicini ).  It's really not even close. 
Warm romantic & detailed
Consider Jean-Marie Reynaud speakers.  They may well provide what you're looking for. 
Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound?
Another vote for the Border Patrol DAC.  I had mine upgraded by BP to the DAC SEi, which features better capacitors.  It now sounds even better.  I really find myself asking what more do I need in a DAC?  It's really good and encourages long liste... 
Borresen Acoustics 01 Speaker Review >>>ARE THESE SPEAKERS A BARGAIN ?.....
b_limo,I heard these speakers at RMAF last year.  What got me in the room was the sight of speakers that small in a very large room.  I thought the sound was excellent at first but it began to wear on me after a while.  Apart from the fact that I'...

JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies?
1 - You need a new dealer. 2 - I heard those same speakers with Bricasti equipment.  There was nothing "shouty" about the presentation.  The sound was wonderful, engaging and warm.  I'm not particularly a JBL fan but this was special.  I'd experim... 
???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End???
I've got the Cayin USA A55T Mark III integrated.  I don't know that I need anything better.  It replaced a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 1.  The Cayin is better in every way. 
Replace a Rogue Tempest with Cayin CS845A, Ayon Triton 2, Unison Research, or Mastersound?
I recently replaced a Rogue Cronus Magnum 1 (KT-120) with the Cayin Audio USA A-88T Mk3. I can tell you that I much prefer the Cayin. While the Rogue is good, the Cayin sounds much better to me. It’s a warmer, fuller, more natural presentation tha... 
Best DAC for around $2,500 or less
