| Ultrasonic record cleaners I just bought a LP length ultrasonic cleaner and bought a rotator assembly which fits on the side and suspends the LP above the label. It works great. I use a little dawn dish soap and 'photoflo" surface tension reducer so that the water flows off... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube I like his reviews...like others, my equipment is not in his review price range, but he provides useful device, particuarly for secondary systems...just not my main system. | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? I have had Roon for about a year and a half...I resisted due to not wanting another subscription...but it is by far the best system I have tried. I dont care about extra services, I just use it for my own (10,000 track) library. It really makes it... | |

| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? That is very unusual for Magnepans...usually the opposite...speaker placement is very important with Maggies. I would try different positions and angles and make sure they are a couple of feet off the wall. | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? I have had a couple of different Maggies over the years...I really like them. I currently biamp them with two Bryston 3Bs...best midrange and high end anywhere near their price point. I dont care much about strong bass; I have the home theater s... | |
