I need a phono preamp and I'm leaning toward Krell
The Plinius M14 - I own one and it would be hard to beat - my second system has an Electrocompaniet ECP which is very good for 1/4 the cost of the Plinius. 
MM cartridge choices
I just added a Virtuoso and I am very pleased with it. I saw some guy overseas is selling them for 425 plus shipping but I bought mine in the states for 599 with a trade in of an old DJ cartridge I had. 
budget cleaning ideas for garage sale records?
I have been cleaning records for thirty five years with soap and water like I said. A Dj I knew way back when used it so I tried it and it worked great. Never had a problem - I would not use alcohol - messed one up about thirty five years ago like...

Plain soap(Dawn) and luke warm water works fine. Dry them off with cold air from your hair dryer or a fan after wiping them off ever so gently. 
Phono Cartridge recommendation
I have the Blue Point Special and really like it . I also tried a Grado Sonata but it was too warm sounding for my taste. I use a Sumiko Celebration in my main system and also a Benz Micro 0.4 . I love my vinyl. There are a lot of good cartridges ... 
two monitors as center channel...
My Yamaha DSP has an option for using two centers and I do. It was a big improvement with fuller sound. I use M&K 's which I feel do a great matching job with the Andras I use for mains. 
Differences between MM or MC/Recommendations?

What would you do?
People will risk negative feedback for a few thousand dollars or less even. No COD - no deal - even then what you thought might be in the box might not. If it smells rotten - it usually is! 
What would you do?
Pay the $9 and at least the unit might be in the box when it arrives. I sent a money order to kcmac4u on a piece even with positive feedback and a phone number and never received a unit. I involved his local police. It was the first time on a majo... 
What is the best matching DAC for Sony SCD-1 ?

Best sounding integrated made........is?
Mcintosh makes great integrateds - I own the 6850. Others are the new 6900 (great) and the 6500. 
Something looks weird about this auctions?
The seller emailed me back and said he was legit - I told him he was being questioned on another site about possible fraud ads. It is very interesting that the Dynaudio ads disappeared. Let's keep up the work on getting these frauds! He told me I ... 
Something looks weird about this auctions?
Stay away from kcmac4u on ebay - he has a few positive feedback notes but is a fraud and tried to sell a Mcintosh piece to me but couldn't deliver. I had to involve his local police.
