Best power conditioner for record cleaner?
My  priest blessed a gallon jug of Holy Water for me to use for cleaning my records.  Not only do they sound like Heaven, I swear I can hear God's comments in the background telling me how much he digs Pink Floyd. 
FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better?

Current McIntosh mc275 Questions
I checked Audio Classics. They have the IV for $3995.00 and the V for $4495.00.  You could call them and ask about the difference in sound, the steered me out of a component that didn’t sound as good as one for less money.
