Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs
There are some record cleaning fluids on the market that contain some percentage of alcohol.   People that insist on using undiluted alcohol on their vinyl records do so at the risk of damaging them over time.DO NOT use alcohol on older 78's.  You... 
Soundcamera - visualizes sound - useful for our hobby?
If you listen to the video, they say the Soundcam records acoustical data and presents the data in a visible format - kinda like GPS.Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how this device fits into  sound reproduction in traditional stereo pl...

Getting into Tube Equipment
Therefore, a $12,000 stereo setup does not seem like a reasonable option for me. $12K may not be reasonable, so what is your budget?Maybe look into getting a Jolida Fusion 3502 Integrated:https://www.musicdirect.com/integrated-amp/jolida-fusion... 
Tried tubes and LOVED it, now what?

@68pete  - I know what you mean.   You were right, the resulting sound can become addictive.So far I have two MC-0.5's in the wall and the RCA adapters on my tonearm cable.  I'm not sure what magnetic induction does but now I'm a believer.  Adding...
