What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
So it sounds like the consensus is that "cheap" SETs aren't worth the trouble. I'll just have to keep an eye on the used market, I guess.The Manley Neo Classic SE/PP 300b's are more than 9 big ones! Not in my future any time soon, short of hitting...

Reference 3A De Capo BE Review
Rja,I don't think so. I just happened to have the cherry veneer cabinets and installed the new BE tweeters in them. But someone who wanted one of the wood veneers could call Reference 3A and see if they have any of the older cabinets around.

Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
Wow, very useful thread, folks, thanks. I did hear back from the Spin Clean folks with a nice email. They said that the usual culprits for what I'm hearing are residue on the cleaning pads from a really dirty record (and they suggested cleaning th... 
Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
Actusreus,Thanks for your thoughts. I'd thought that the cleaning might have uncovered some damage, too. It reminded me of another thread on cleaning regarding Gruv Glide spray (which I also own). Some suggest that Gruv Glide makes records sound q...
