New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning

My Review: Rotel RA1570 vs Rotel RA1592 Integrated Amplifiers, side by side.
Can't believe it's been 3 years. I still own the 1592 integrated, still with my Sonus Faber Olympica 3. My big system has retained the Boulder 2060, but now I have the Audio Research 40th Anniversary preamplifier.  Still have the Audioquest Wels. ...

I was wondering the same thing 
Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i)

High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
Yes.it depends on the room but if you’re good with the room, then yes for sure.i went from Rotel preamp to rogue to Cary 98 then Cary 05 then arc 5se then finally audio research reference 40th anniversary.the arc 40 is the best preamp I’ve ever ow... 
$7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant?
Depends on the room acoustics and listening environment honestly.  If you are in a crappy room... it’s not worth the price of admission. 
I was going to give my son a system, with brand new Solid Steel rack but he has AirPods???
I can be considered an “old” millennial.  I like and enjoy hi end audio.  You didn’t go wrong, but I believe he didn’t go right.I’m exposing my kids early... in hopes that they will latch on.  My 6yo keeps asking, where’s the record player? 
Has anyone compared old to new Audioquest Cables???
Interesting
