Interesting video on cables
Fascinating for sure!  I bet fakes of the genuine Apple cables are already in production in China if not already on eBay.  
Ultrasonic cleaning
I use an Audio Desk to clean using their cleaner.  I rinse using a Degritter with only their wetting agent (Rinse Aid).  Most records are dead silent or nearly so.

Does a record player make that much of a difference??
It all matters.  I my opinion the cartridge has the highest point of diminishing returns, but you need to have balance among all the components. My TT is the least expensive part of the system, though no slouch.  Phono Pre cost twice as much as t...

What new gear have you just bought?
Bought a pair of PS Audio M1200 amps a couple of months ago.  Wasn’t planning to use them any time soon, but the the AC died and running the tube monos just didn’t make sense until it was fixed.  VERY happy the the M1200s.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@bslon If you're not familiar with the RL version and you have one, I suggest you research it a little.  There are several versions, Discogs would be the place to research that.  You may then want to Google "led zeppelin ii rl" or something like t...
