@livin_262002 I have the Kirmuss as well and I'm wondering if you could share with me your recipe for your cleaning solution using Triton X-100 and 91% Iso.  
Ultrasonic record cleaners
I have a Kirmus ultrasonic, and it's changed records I've gotten from various sources, from unplayable to sounding as if I just opened it brand new. But, and this could be a deal braker, it does take about 8 mis per record to get those results. I ... 
The longest you have owned any gear?
I can vouch for Cornell Smith, (audiodoctor.biz). Cornell fixed my Parasound integrated after my daughter broke off an RCA cable in one of the inputs. Very knowledgeable guy. 
Looking to upgrade amp, need help.
Another +1 for the the Halo Integrated, its a great amp for the price. I ditched my Pro-Ject carbon for a VPI scout about a year ago with an Ortofon 2M Bronze, it sounds so much better.

Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range.
Depends on what music you listen to, but I can vouch for Tekton. I was looking for a setup to run without a sub and the Pendragon go down to 20Hz. The Pendragon are big but to me they sound amazing on old school rock, and not to shabby on jazz. Th...
