| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) Odyssey- great price/performance bargain. IIRC Magico’s Alon Wolf liked and used Odyssey amps, not solely though. | |

| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Better Records Is providing a service - reviewing many records and choosing the best of the lot. The time spent plus having to dispose of the rest of the vinyl one would expect a substantial higher price to cover these costs plus time and effort.... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) @barnettk - please let us know your impressions of the sonics before and after using the Degritter, maybe comparing it to your previous cleaning process | |

| HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping. @1111art - you should refuse shipment to get the speakers back to DALI for them to inspect/fix, then send you out a inspected/new pair.

Also, recording artists may focus on differ... | |

| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) Ultrasonic cleaners seem to clean vinyl the best. Cheapest is somewhat homemade solutions for a few hundred dollars. Kirmuss is about $1k but takes a few manual steps per LP, but gets reported results on par with the automatic UC. Automatic tim... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) Regarding the Kirmuss, Analog Planet Fremer says, "I can't see the restoration on vinyl records, but I can definitely hear it" | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) I’m planning to order a Kirmuss based on Fremer’s review:“...gleaming, shiny, like-new-looking record, even more brilliant than a similar record cleaned with the Audiodesksysteme“which seemed to be at least or better than the Audiodesk.
