So I struck out on trying to find my disc copy of "Boys".  How wide should the table cloth banner be?

@williewonka Have adjusted VTA both up and down from neutral.  Lowering VTA didn't fix it and made low end a little boomy.  Pretty sure I have it optimized.  Tracking force is per manufacturer, and I adjusted it with VTA changes.  I do have a digi...

@williewonka What a simply elegant test.  I will definitely try that.  It may take some time due to work and social commitments-don't usually get home until after 7 p.m.  I will let you know.  Just curious-ifI don't see an improvement is that a pl...

@williewonka That is a solution I would never have come up with.  Do you have contact info for the company?  That seems like a real easy fix. Thanks Steve!  
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
@steakster ,  I have found that nano-flo adds both.  Huge improvement over TC.  It's like a 3-d conditioner.  Listening to albums I am quite familiar with shows a greater sound stage, but more impressively, the sound and separation of instruments ...

I too can affirm that the new kid is killer.  Just applied it to the power cords only. Took the TC off, which I thought was great.  Holy Moly!!  What a HUGE difference.  I really can't wait to treat the rest of the system.  By far and away the bes... 
I’m in trouble
@larryro2 Larry, see Mike at Suncoast Audio in Sarasota.  He is extremely knowledgeable and has a nice showroom to audition.  I believe he carries some of the brands you are looking at. Good luck.  
Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL
@curiousjimTThe only problem with playing Hendrix on this table is you have to turn it upside down 
Record Cleaning Machines
@oldaudiophile years ago when I was looking at a 40khz unit (which I bought) I scoured the internet regarding the safety of ultrasonic cleaning.  I read a report of an audiophile who took a record he didn't care for and cleaned it ultrasonically o...

@mapman   That's dedication.  What do you use? @elliot Similarly, I don't use a brush, but rather a Kinetronics Tiger cloth that works much better IMO.  Kudos to @Antinn for the recommendation. $9.69 at Amazon. 
Wait time after record cleaning
"We can go on and on like this for freaking ever."  I thought that was a central tenet of the audiophile's code.  I'm just trying to do my part.  @Riley  We all have our routines.  Rest assured this doesn't keep me up much a night, lol.  Just wond... 
Wait time after record cleaning
Thanks to everyone for their interest.  Like @whart, I typically clean in batches and don't usually listen while cleaning.  Millercarbon hit it on the head, though.  A tough study for sure.  @isochromism-I will usually have the disc cleaned before... 
Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.)
@whart. Would those swirls be Sabbath related? 
Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.)
@bdp24 Having started where you are currently at, I would offer some unsolicited advice.  Unless you have a plans for high end water filtration on your ultrasonic unit, I would clean the records first with the VPI to remove the major crud, then ul... 
Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.)
I have to second whart's thoughts on Neil Antin's ebook on vinyl cleaning.  It is incredibly detailed and covers all aspects of obtaining cleaner vinyl. Highly recommended.   The takeaway for me is that no one singular system is complete in terms ...
