| First impressions of the Audio Desk Record Cleaner "Maybe I should have bought one sooner." Having used the AD whenever I've had the opportunity, I'm certain I would think the same.

| Why do I need a switch? "I just watched a few videos about audiophile switches and I don’t understand the need" Don't question it. Just buy in. Probably better with a fancy pc cable, cat 5 cable and fuse. Cryo everything before use too. THAT's how you roll with the au... | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions Look to "Cool Jazz" artists and the "West Coast" sounds. Too many great pianists/horn players to list. Start by going bacwards to the sources in the late 40's-50's. | |

| Does Hearing Loss Disqualify Me from Audiophiledom? I listen to Ludwig V's 9th and Zeppelin with RAGING tinnitus along with hearing that drops @ 7 Khz with no loss of enjoyment. The good news is my deficit is about equal in both ears, so my deafness is balanced! . | |
| What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings? The OP may want to get acquainted with discogs to learn what to look for in a period press. It's all in the matrix.
