New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
Thanks for explaining @antinn . I think I'll just go with Tergitol if its better in the long run.

New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
Bought one yesterday and see its out of stock today. BTW I see suggestions to use the Tergitol surfactant 15-S-9 along with it for cleaning. How much would you add per gallon of distilled water/use?

Bluesound Node 2i digital output problems...
If sound is being delivered from the Node its likely not the source of the issue. Probably an issue with the Onkyo's digital inputs or DAC.  
Considering McIntosh MA352
