| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) The fact that we now have choices that's equivalent to putting a slice of bread in the toaster, wait a few minutes and it's done is appealing.If you're dedicated to LP playback, spend the money on the best you can afford. | |

| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? "I doubt it. I mean...

Beyond name recognition of the Beatles, maybe the Stones they... | |

| More watts or better power ? How about better speaker placement/room enhancement?You're realistically only using single digit wattage, nowhere near the amp specs. |
