Removing odor from LP jackets, liners, etc
Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I've bought a tub, unscented cat litter and baking soda. As soon as I receive my order of new record liners, I'll start treating the jackets for the odor. I'll post the results. Incidentally, I received the cheapo W... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
FWIW, Walgreens.com is selling their "Perfection" Steam Cleaner online only, for $12.99 or thereabouts right now. With S & H it came to under $20. I visited their nearby stores (2) and one was out of them and the other didn't carry it. List pr... 
Music Reference RM9 - user comments please
Nope, not bad at all, even at the $195 for the 2-input version, which I got. I had been feeding the Shanling CDP directly into the amp, using the built in volume control. My theory was that I was probably losing some detail and information from th... 
The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ?
Discovered Ronnie Earl last year and bought most of his "Broadcasters" albums. Currently, I still must frequently hear some tracks from "Now, My Soul", particularly "Double Trouble", with Kim Wilson on vocal and harp - his harp solo still knocks m... 
Music Reference RM9 - user comments please

Pubul57, I noticed that you have the K & K for sale now. Can you tell why you're selling and what you've kept? I have a Music Reference RM-9 and have been considering a TVC to run between my Shanling CDP so I can eliminate the digital volume c... 
Music Reference RM9 - user comments please
Nice to see a current thread about this amp. I've owned the RM9 for just a few months, after buying it from the 2nd owner here on A'gon. I'm only a couple of years in the hobby, so no expert my any means; but no complaints about this amp. Love the... 
Quad L vs. L2 series
Just got 22L2 last week. Since I'll be moving in about 2 weeks, haven't paid much attention to placement, anchoring or anything yet, but first impressions are good. A terrific looking speaker for sure, with a remarkable finish. Moody so far.....st... 
Where does your user name come from?
Got a new e-mail account about the same time I took up skydiving......seemed appropriate. Also like the internal rhyme of it. 
Audiophile Electrocution
I once went to look at a work van for purchase from a private owner.....the guy I spoke with told me he was selling it for a woman friend whose husband had had a TV repair shop.....he had been demonstrating to a new assistant some of the fine poin...
