I use Super Exstatic dry brush. No miracles, works fine for me. 
Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC
I have not heard the newest Purist cables, only older ones. If you pushed me to take my somewhat educated wild guess, I would say that without spending too much the current Aqueous Luminist edition for a little over $1000 should be about right. If...

Rinpoche, if you consider Purist I strongly suggest you talk to member albertporter and also perhaps to Jim Aud, Purist designer. Albert has a wealth of knoweldge of high end audio. He is currently also Purist Audio and High Fidelity cables dealer...

Exactly. That's what you want to add to the sound of your system.I will make last statement regarding cables. Take it with some scepticism.We, Purist Audio fans, are not idiots and generally have good hearing. Whatever else in our systems we chang...

Does Jeff Rowland now use standard XLR pin configuration? I think, I read that in the past that was not the case. Unless I read wrong.Someone here uses Wireworld cables with Rowlands. There is inexpensive Eclipse balanced cable for sale. This shou...

Come on, guys, I suspect some of you have a bunch of spare cables in the closet. Why don't you send them to the lady for audition? I don't have balanced cables.If you add tube pre-amp later, the interconnects you get now may not work well, besides... 
Biggest bang for buck headphones removed really?
Yeah, I noticed it too. I wouldn't call them names just yet though. It would be nice if they provided some explanation, but then again who are we to deserve this, right? 
Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC
A few thoughts. If the system sounds good enough now, there is no need to change anything, certainly not untill the question of adding preamp or upgrading speakers is answered. At this level I would not mix brands of interconnects and speaker cabl...

I wonder how this would sound through the Wilsons.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p71QK5TZDCcI believe that the situation when power amp outclasses speakers is better than the other way around. It is probably not easy for any speakers to outclass ...

Can't be sure but I suspect that your power amp now outclasses your speakers. This is a good thing but not the best thing.

If you like Wilson sound it might make more sense to first upgrade to Sophia or Sasha before dealing with preamp thing.

How big is the bill going to be? 
Turntable Advice
Yes, an idea. I would suggest waiting a little longer to be able to at least double the funds. You might get lucky and get a decent vintage, but it's a big gamble. It also depends on how good a sound you want to achieve.

That's good, you settled it.Don't be so sure - you may not like our faces.Hear from you next year, about the preamp, if you feel you need it.There is an old Gryphon preamp here right now. I wonder, how would it work with your Rowland? No, it's not... 
ISO advice on record cleaning fluids
I use Audio Intelligent three step cleaning system, the second step being Archivist fluid, with Okki Nokki vacuum cleaning machine. The results are excellent, though I never tried extremely dirty records. Nor did I try any other fluid. When I boug...
