| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, My first speakers looked exactly like that in yogiboy's post. They needed power to be happy, but they were excellent. | |
| cleaning gritty surface noise on LPs When cleaning records a rinse is always required after any cleaning. An often over looked verity in record cleaning. | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice The Yamaha NS5000 monitor with stands are superb and don't need gobs of power to drive them well. a 125 wpc amplifier will not drive a lot of very good but power hungry speakers. | |
| Rega planar 3 (50th Anniversary) For a couple more dollars you can get the P6 which is a better unit. I would recommend that route. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, When I first heard of the Sony SS-AR-1 I knew I should investigate. They were special. | |
| Quality of Sirius XM It reminds me of AM stereo. | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range Audio by Van Alstine make a very good unit that won't break the bank but will work well with either MM or MC cartridges. | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome Audio by Van Alstine makes a good phono preamplifier that won't break the bank. It handles MM and MC with aplomb. | |
| Marantz SA-10 I run a Marantz SA-Ki Ruby. I placed 4 Stillpoints under it and it made the machine sound better. The extremes such as bass and treble really perked up after the Stillpoints were installed. | |

| Ultrasonic: should I do it? I actually rinse after every step. I use a plastic eye dropper to evenly distribute the Spin Clean fluid over the entire surface of the cleaning brushes. This way the lead in grooves and the first track and a half are affected by the cleaning solu... | |
| Ultrasonic: should I do it? I own an Audio Desk cleaner. I also own a Spin Clean and a Loricraft. I use the Spin Clean first. At least 60 revolutions to knock the bark off’em. Then I clean them on the Loricraft with a cleaner that can remove oils, soaps, and grease, such as... | |
| AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should I owned a Marantz like yours and was underwhelmed.
