Check out Timbernation.  There are options way under $3k. They will also custom make anything you want.

Thoress Phono Enhancer has 6 inputs.

I tried two different Kansui on my 3P and had sibilance I could not get rid of. I later saw another person on audiogon with the same issue.

I have the Kuzma Stabi Ref2 and the 4Point.  Stellar combination that I have been extremely happy with.  The support from Franc is top notch.  I now also have a TechDAS AF5 with Thales Simplicity II which is not fully setup yet.  The support from ... 
KLAudio is stopping production of their Ultrasonic record cleaner.

I found the Degritter cleans better (see my post in the Degritter thread).  The other big difference in the machines comes down to three major points.  The Degritter has a filtering system, a removable water tank, and is completely controlled by f...

I've had the KL and now have the Degritter.  I find the Degritter better in every aspect. 
Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner
I got mine a couple days ago. There have been some issues but I think (hope) we’re past that now. The company has been very responsive and helpful. Coming from a KL machine there are so many things better about the Degritter. I had one new album t...
