ClearAudio Reference w/SME V Vs SME10 ?
Your rack should do fine. If that rack cannot isolate any table, it probably can't be done.I agree with your wife, get the Clearaudio. Just because Raul is clueless. 
What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
Stewart,All I use the Premiere for is a one-time shot on new records, unless I shoot it on an old album I'm not sure will clean. Then I give it a shot and see how the album LOOKS. If it looks like it's worth cleaning after the spray, I clean &...

What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
