Vinyl Users - Best/Favorite room air cleaner
Get rid of carpets, fleece clothing, and wet Swiffer all the time.We use Fellowes room air cleaners with carbon filters. 
New Preamp arrived....
Leave it running for a few days and come back to it. Out of the box listening, while exciting, can be frustrating. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Roger Waters - The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (Harvest UK 1984 - with uncensored [pathetic] ass.)Great album. Great recording. Saw the tour live in London in 85. #greenlamborghini

Neil Young - Live in Massey Hall 1971Intimate recording. Really annoying coughing people in the audience. STOP it.Jeez. Side 4 has the mob whistling for an encore for five solid minutes. STFU. 
Amp/ receiver advice for Spendor SP2/3's
These deserve high quality amps and source as other have said.I run a pair of SP2/2 with vintage 35watt tube monos and they sound great. I have also used a brutish 70watt KT88 tube amp and found they responded well to more power. @gjuliani as long...

@dweller Dude, it was a joke! 
Choosing a good preamp
@kamiar Don’t let one comment get you down. Americans who only speak one language get annoyed when someone who can speak more than one makes a mistake. Welcome and hang in there!

@dweller Can you tell me where you got those $50 earbuds?  
Choosing a good preamp
I'd ask the opposite. Why don't people use "flowery" language? And by not doing so, who do they "desire" to impress? 
Phono Preamp
^ We're talking about a phono amp not a 400w transmitter! 
Phono Preamp
If you are going to the UK, check out Croft Acoustics.  I run two 25R phono preamps with custom tubes. He has various RIAA only models. Glorious with non-MC cartridges. 
Most annoying song, period.
Every one of those Leonard Cohen's Hallalueh covers, especially when they think it's religious.
