Markus, sell the reel to reel and buy yourself a bunch of records. 
The Groove Probe, for optimizing and evaluating record cleaning systems
Rex, I'm trying to be polite here. I think you have too much spare time on your hands. I think you should work on developing techniques to keep your records from getting dirty in the first place. I never have to clean any of my records. Mike

Doubting Sound Treatment ?
No doubt at all but there is no rocket science here and like anything audiophile a lot of this stuff is severely over priced. A clever DIYer can accomplish exactly the same thing for a fraction of the price.  
Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium
Larry, The Sound Labs Ultimate 545's are not that large at all. Yes the 845s are huge but the 545's are quite reasonable and the sound very much like the big ones just not quite as efficient.

Thanx for the optimism schubert. I am trying to make a list of the record companies that people have had good results with so that we can all have an idea whose products are more likely to be of a higher quality. There are plenty of small companie... 
LP made from a digital master recording...
