Based on above answers, I will just buy from @ebm and avoid @czarivey  Buy strong brands not tiny fly-by-night companies and you'll always do okay. Cheers,Spencer 
Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback
@rushton Rush, funny, I had been floating my LPs on O-rings with the VPI for years too, the O-rings came with the Walker Prelude kit, and I got so used to the LPs not touching the cork mat, that it completely slipped my mind. Obviously, the O-ring... 
Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback
So Rush's writeup and this thread have me jumping into the ultrasonic pool(or is that bath?). Over the last week I ordered a 40hz 10L tank, vinyl stack(4) and the chemicals suggested. My plan is to follow Rush's process with one exception...I'm at...

@mmporsche Congrats. Raul's advice is a valuable asset. Looking forward to your comments about how it all sounds when you get it setup. The AF tables are certainly beautiful, I'd love to hear them one day. Cheers,Spencer 
Cartridge Recommendation
@srafi I just did a direct comparison of the ART9 and the XX2 (mkI not MkII), both on a modded to the max SL1200 with Terminator T3Pro arm. They were pretty close in my opinion, the owners of each preferred their own purchases. The ART9 was clearl...

@chazro @bdp24 Excellent and interesting observations, thanks. Cheers,Spencer 
5 most recognizable voices in American music?
I love it when a thread from 10 years ago pops up again! For pure recognition Adele has got to be near the top if we poll the random public. Short memories rule. Most under 30 could not identify Willie, Johnny Cash, even Sinatra or Ella.If we are ... 
Listen...chair
If you buy one of those Teleportation tweaks with the phone call you can fix the sound of the Poang chair, but you must be sitting in the chair when you answer the phone.@jetter Nice score, well played, sir! Cheers,Spencer
