What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean?

Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
The Wharfedale Diamond series would be in your price range. The 12.3 or 12.4 towers are nice.  
I need help choosing a budget phono stage gift
Another vote for Schiit Mani 2. Hard to beat for the price.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Hugh Masekela "Hope" The double Lp  45rpm. The cd or streaming versions don't compare. IMHO  
Qobuz problems with the BluOS app?
I've had the original Bluesound Node  2 for 5 years now and with the exception of a few minor growing pains of the app over that time my Node 2 has run like s champ. I have accepted all updates and I believe this is what kept this unit going stron...
