Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio?
Network players have already replaced computer audio for the most part, at least in terms of performance and value; that goes for both streaming content and privately owned libraries stored on NAS devices. For those of us with sizable collections ... 
Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback
The pump & filter part of this whole equation is that something I am working thru right now. I just ordered a 1micron filter and housing from allfilters.com and am close to pulling the trigger on a "PonicsPump PP40006: 400 GPH Submersible Pump... 
Technics Sp-10 platter screws
That's interesting. Just snapped a pic of my -- I think -- original screw and now see that there is a clear plastic or similar sleeve on the underside, apparently serving like a washer. It makes sense that someone adding a replacement screw would ... 
Turntable Help
Guys, I realize the budget constraints of OP, but advice here sets the bar very low. Adjustable VTA, not just once for the arm, but for every different thickness of LP is something you want to get the most out of your records. I'm sure those who d... 
Resale value
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
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...

Schoenberg is too deep for me.

@audiotroy Everyone with a commercial interest should disclose it in a signature at the bottom of every post. That is if you want to appear professional and well meaning. So far, you aren't looking too good. Time to say "Lesson learned, I'll do be... 
Technics Sp-10 platter screws
Hmm. My recently purchased SP10mkII has screws(original I think) but without washers. Should I get washers to put between the screws and the platter? You guys are always costing me money ;-) Cheers,Spencer

Can I turn my amp sideways to avoid prosecution?  
Which Clapton CDs?
Unplugged must be praised above all others. Cheers,Spencer 
What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers?
Do skateboards of today compare with the cars of "the car era"? Sure cars provide more speed, more safety, more comfort, room for passengers and amenities, but I often prefer the lack of clutter in my garage from having just a skateboard. And on a... 
Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable?
@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
