Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
Just in case anyone reads jeffrey's post of  07:14, it's misleading. Suggest you read Neil's bible. Reference above.  
Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms?
@mijostyn   Not half as good as, "Digitally perfect sound." Guess that's why all CD players sound alike.  
Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms?
Tonearms make a difference. Even different tonearm wands on the same air bearing sound different, with the same cartridge, set up over days. Since my tonearm has repeatable measurements (error bars 20 seconds of arc, 50 microns linear) and setting... 
Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house?
I've done two rooms in my own house. In the home theatre, I built a wall on each side of 2x4 frames and filled the interstices with playground sand. Same for the ceiling. It was highly successful. For the purpose built music room I used Quietrock...

How much power? How much power delivered to each record face? What frequency? How's the QC? Read the bible before you leap. IMO.

I second the ElmaSonic P60. I have a P60 rebranded by Fisher Scientific, and add-on rotisseries. I have cleaned more than 3000 records. My current regime is spin-clean with running pure water, 2 records on the spindle for 10 minutes of US cleaning...

@rsf507 I was not disputing your post. I know nothing about Kirmuss and so I make no comment on that product. But Antinn’s Bible gives all the technical information necessary to make an informed decision in any particular case. Personally, I am k...

There is a bible on the subject published by The Vinyl Press. It tells you all you need to know about record cleaning in general, and US cleaning in particular. I have invested thousands in US cleaning and it is one of the highest return elements...

Glad to help a kindred spirit. Enjoy!  
Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955
I'm not an electrician, but this sounds like living dangerously to me. I think that it's illegal in my jurisdiction to have a three-hole receptacle which isn't grounded. In any case, I would never do it because that ground pin can save your life. ... 
Isolation transformer question
I use Plitron isolation transformers for all sensitive electronics. These are industrial grade, not consumer-itis. I have done a factorial Plitron/ Wall x Aftermarket Power Cord two factor experiment, (in all combinations). Source power was high ... 
I listened to a pair of Audio Research Reference 330Ms
@wolf_garcia "Buy ’em and it will make you feel taller!" Why this? Did someone tell you that his Camry was better than any Porsche or BMW, and it traumatized you?  
Best speaker brands for transient response
Magnepan sells a bass-only speaker, DWM, crossed over at 200Hz, but flat to nearly 5KHz. I use two to augment my pairs of 2805’s and 2905’s.’They are a push-pull design and are very fast.  
Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers!
Peter Walker of Quad fame preferred stacks and arrays of his original Quads. He also like to put two Quads at right angles to each other - and I like that solution the best. I use it for two pairs of modern ones. @audioman58  is also correct. Som...

It takes a recording from a war zone to understand the Emperor. 'Cause when the Emperor gets lost, lots of people die, Beethoven as he meant it to be.
