Record Cleaning Machines
I guess I am “old school”. Use the legendary Keith Monks Discovery RCM. BBC, Library of Congress, etc. used to be a thread on nozzle at the end of a tone arm like moving arm. Now just a high suction devise using a very strong German medical grade ... 
surround processor?
To follow up on MC, I have been deeply involved it the creation of world class multi channel HT where just the room was $250K ++.Especially so, I have never considered any other than two channel.To create an audiophile level HT indeed takes hundre...

Have ordered some 1260. Think I will apply it one connection at a time starting with my yellow fuses coming.Anyone have experience applying it to a system?? 
Phono preamp tube rolling.
IME, Mullard preamp tubes are best. They are hard to find but worth it. I got 12 12AT7s from a collector. Upscale may have some.But they are rare. 
Finally, a great stylus cleaner-Onzow Zerodust!
Seeing the stuff that has been cleaned on the Onzow reminds me of the gratification of watching my Keith Monks RCM vacuum up dirt from the record.The Onzow was recommended by the Lyra distributor.

What makes for a “proper” soundstage for Symphonic music?
I gave general, basic placement. 
In general, how does price relate to quality?
Reminds me of those solid gold monitors for $5 mil!

What is it about spinning vinyl?
Almost all my listening is dedicated to vinyl.Only listen to digital when in my office.With a nice headphone rig in the office I am interested. It sounds very good. An intellectual experience. But listening to the TT rig, I am swept away into the ... 
amplifier with volume control
I lived with and loved my passive preamps for decades. So transparent!But about 6 years ago I thought of trying an active. Man, I was missing so much drive and PRAT. And the active was just as transparent with so much more music. Now on my third a...

Oh, and the top of the Onzow is a nice magnifying glass. 
Quantum Science Audio Thread
Pleased the QSA thread is open up again.Sure wish people with experience with the fuses and stones would contribute more. Being so incredibly impressed with the light blue fuses, I ordered yellow fuses and red stones.Curious about the stones? Goin... 
Technics or Kuzma turntable.
An HRS or SRA or Townshend platform is a must. Currently I lean toward the Townshend Podium. Kuzma is a great TT but Technics is a major company with extensive R and D and a well deserved reputation to maintain. And you might consider a Triplanar ...
