Best Record Cleaning Fluid
Another fluid delivery mechanism I don’t care for is spray bottles.  Invariably I get some on the label or on the machine itself.   
Best Record Cleaning Fluid
Anybody have experience with the Okki Nokki record cleaning fluid?  How about Mobile Fidelity or the Revolv that I mentioned? Sometimes I think they are all about the same.  Hard to do a comparison because, one the LP is clean, well, uh, it is clean. 
AudioQuest Niagara 1000
I still have not received mine yet. 
Help with up to $1500 streamer
Check out the Project Ultra Stream Box S2.  For $850 it is a bargin and gets some very good ratings. Check out the German fella on YouTube. Works very well for me.   
Help !
Send them to me. I'll rip them and put them on a hard drive for you. 
Is this sign of getting old?
@2psyopI love it.  As I edge close to pulling the plug I keep asking that very question over and over, but I am pleased to say that my listening habits have increased with the new upgrades to the sound system.  Listening to a couple of Claude Boll... 
My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system.
If you or the woman in the house have difficulty choosing your shoes before heading to the Office, then I think it is perfectly practical to add the top sound system to your walk in closet.  Much better than a Amazon Echo. 
Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!
I'm not sure what a cell phone backup radio is, but glad you figured it out.  The RFI could happen to anyone.  My security system is a cell phone run system too, but haven't had any noticeable pops.  Occasional static but that is nothing  out of t... 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
Seriously... A $3200 Record Clap.  Why?  Guess some audio folks have money to burn. 
Good Inexpensive Amp for Back Yard Speakers
@Simao - I need something that connects to the Streaming system that I already have set up, which runs through my existing pre-amp.@noromance -  I already have the speakers that are wired, and the back of the house was already wired to go - so I a... 
Music lover or audiophile?
Can I oscillate back & forth between an Audiophile and a Music Lover?  I think so.  Maybe it switches weekly, or monthly, or maybe it is based on my checkbook? Dunno.  But I like both! 
Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD
I have the same Pro-Ject Ultra S2 Streambox and run Tidal Hi-Fi through it.  It sounds lovely.  I’m sure a streamer at 5x the price would sound better, but I’m very pleased with it.  
So just how much vinyl do YOU own?
We should start a thread about how we keep the LPs.  I have them on the 2nd floor but right above a load bearing wall!  Anybody remember Per Madden Design? 
So just how much vinyl do YOU own?
Really, you going to make me count?  Just purchased a new MT5 yesterday.  If anyone want to unload their blues collection - I’m game,  Particularity old Folksways recordings.  One of these days I will get everything logged into Discogs.  Seems lik... 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
I grew up in Chicago Blues clubs, and agree my car is a great sound room. But I don’t expect my sound system to sound like a classic blues club. I know when I play a good Delmark Blues Record, i.e. Hoodoo Man Blues, it sounds excellent on my syste...
