| Review: Disc Doctor Miracle Record Cleaner Turntable Yours is a complete reversal of my findings. A recent visitor to my music group brought a Classic Records RCA repress that he had cleaned with his VPI machine and Disc Doctor fluid. We had been playing my LP's (which are all cleaned with RR fluid)... | |

You may have answered your own question:I don't need the last word in audiophile quality for the office.If you purchase good quality in wall speakers you will get good sound.

Safest route would be to order the correct version from Purist. I've converted several Dominus power cords back and fourth between 120 and 240. Req... | |
