Just start saving for a KLAudio ultrasonic cleaner. Then when you get about halfway there, settle for the well-respected Degritter. You'll feel like you've made a prudent and frugal purchase. Perspective's a beautiful thing.

From Darlington Labs F.A.Q. How is your mono switch configured electrically? Our mono switch places the positive inputs from the cartridge in direct parallel (this parallel junction is accomplished in series with a 1 ohm resistor intended to damp any possible parasitic effects in the input...

I own an Ultradeck and DLabs MP-7, (upgraded from MM-6). I doubt that you would be disappointed with that combination. I've also heard great things about several <$1000 phono amps including the Ultraphono and Schiit Mani (II). My money would be on the MM-6, but I honestly don't think you would...

Provided that a Level-A hazmat suit and fresh air resperator are worn at all times.

I've listened to your video and quickly assumed that the motor bearning was bad, but it seems that you've already eliminated that as an issue. So at the risk of sounding preachy and imperious, let me pass on some advice based on personal experience. Please ensure that you are meticulously and...

Yeah, but now you know. Nothing like the feeling of confirmation. :cool:

As stupid as it sounds, the only reason I would jump at a Hana ML from my current SL bliss is the oh-so convenient handling of a threaded cartridge body. I know it's a common design that's not a specific to the SL, but those tiny nuts drive me nuts. Almost worth the extra scratch just to never...

I thought it was a projector at first. The "Dio" hand figurine woulda cast the perfect shadow on the screen during concert videos.

At this point, the horrendous noise from my Pro-Ject VC-S2 fan motor might be considered ultrasonic. Well no, not really, but it made me laugh thinking about it.

Absolutely! Nothing reinforces the feeling of ownership more than physical media. There something "pure" about it. Things in the cloud still seem ephemeral to me too.

These will probably destroy your aesthetics, but you might find something like this useful - Amazon - Shelf dividers. I saw several different types, (material, color and sizes), offered with a quick search. Good luck!

Crap...okay...ordered. I'm "keeping up with the @kvetcha"

You might be bumping up against holiday hours at MoFi, but I'd go ahead and give them a call. I tried the email routine a while back to resolve an issue, (wanted to replace a scuffed headshell). After a couple of days, I got an email from someone that seemed to not completely understand what I...

Your local Comcast/Xfinity provider should have a recommended/compatibility list available on their website that you could check before purchase. That being said, I've had no issues with the Arris Surfboard modems. I've gone through 3 different models over the last decade and they've all been solid.

You do know that storming off and saying "DO WHATEVER THE F*** YOU WANT!!!" doesn't necessarily mean approval, right?
