Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus
No liquids on my Dynavector X-1. i use the ME. I I agree with Lewm. Key word here is CAREFUL. I cut a very small wedge of ME. Glue it to a tooth pick, and “carefully “ lift the ME into the stylus and carefully bring it straight down. My Transrotor... 
What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)?
Audio Machina.  
Do you listen to equipment or music.
Some very good responses and a great topic, indeed. This hobby, for me at least, is about enjoying the music. But, I have fallen deep into the rabbit hole. Just ask my enabler audiofoo friends. ( yes, audiofoos because we are fools when it comes t... 
Any advice on buying quality vinyl
My brief experience with a very clean, shiny, new looking record, and frustration after dropping my Dynavector stylus into the groove. I was puzzled, not shocked (since it happens once in a while), that I was hearing crackling and a loud hiss from...

If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?
Only 5!?!?!!  You’re killing me, man. 1. The Everly Brothers, A Date With...when I listen to this album I can see/hear The Beatles, Beach Boys, Eagles...the Everlys crossed country, folk, blues and rock and gave us...country rock. 2. Miles Davis, ... 
The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
Seems to me that br3098 has the clearest explanation. I'd love to have a stereo store, hang out, playing my favorite music, sending my faithful employee for a herb run ( I live in Oregon) and best of all- allow my customers to take anything they w... 
recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible
I just corrected nasty, harsh tweeter highs/fatigue. A friend brought over some Dueland wires and they did the trick. Myself and a group of serious audiophiles tried all the things suggested in this thread. I was to the point of breaking out the i... 
The best books on music
Tune In, by Mark Lewisohn. Excellent book about the lads early days. Very well researched and written. (First time they played in Germany was the exact day, 20 years prior, that Germany bombed England. Liverpool)Thelonious Monk, by Kelly. A must r...
