"Glue Cleaning" Your LP's
Nope I asked about Cleaning the Table platter with silly putty to remove debris, not an LP.. However its probably better to clean an lp with Silly putty over drying elmers glue on it and probably just as effective as what is being talked about here. 
Is this a crazy idea.
Mjcmt, Let me save you here, People seem to be missing the real issue, the OPPO players Digital processor built in does not have the capability to mix the Center Voice on a DVD disc to the front Left and right, Yes an old 4 channel receiver as lon...

Caig pro gold is an excellent conditioner to use if the metal is cleaned already on the pins, it gives positive solid / liquid contact... buy it in the Nail polish bottle like this and application is very clean and easy vs. Spraying aerosols all o... 
Do tubes "burn in"?
They definitely settle and smooth out after maybe 10 hours.. Just probably something with the metal getting heated and or some kinda substance burning off the plates and emiting a stronger more consistent current = sound.. Only thing I have to sup... 
Raysonic 168
FatcataudioThat does change things a bit... Might be why the 168 I believe shows a 2.3 volt output and the 128 a 2.2 volt out.. Also why it costs much more its got 4 Dac's to pay for opossed to a pair.. 
Raysonic 168
Bondmanp, Don't get me wrong I totally see your point, honestly if we all thought a single advancement in digital part #'s equates to better sound we would all have to say the latest Greatest IPOD is better than somebodys 10 year old 20,000 dollar...

Newbee, not sure what you are refering too from my end on upsampling.. However I agree upsampling in most cases means nothingÂ… And in the Raysonics case I don't use it, without sounds much more analog. As for price, I don't know that Raysonic uses... 
Raysonic 168

Silly puddy for cleaning turntable mat?
Hmm, well for LP cleaning I would not suggest that, I would just use a carbon Brush and leave it... cause you are putting a sticky substance against the vinyl in the case of the lint roller.. Not sure that is a good idea cause that would on a micr... 
Power: Good or Bad
Yes 20 watt S.E.T sounds better at 115 db peaks if your Room can handle it and your speakers are efficient enough in my experience, vs. 200 plus watt solid state really flattening out at those power transients... So I believe the higher quality wa...
