Cleaning flood damaged vinyls
RecordGenieUSA, Curious about your thoughts on KLaudio vs Audio Desk cleaning machines. I currently have a Nitty Gritty Minipro2 but would like an ultrasonic system, too. There is no review quite like an end user review. 
Cleaning flood damaged vinyls
It may be advantageous for your ins. company to pay YOU to buy a KLaudio cleaner - cheaper than the approx $5-10/LPreimbursement or $5/LP cleaning charge. You already have a NG that you coulr use enzyme cleaner on then follow up with the KL for th...

The 3D printed arm on my Aries 3 sounds superb and I am vey happy with the quality. The Discovery cable adds to the uniqueness of the arm. This table replace a Rega P9 with a RB1000 arm. 
Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10?
Regas like ligth tables to support them or try the Rega shelf. Heavyweight granite is sucking the life out of it. I learned this with my previous P9. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Joe Jackson on 10/11/15 in a smallish venue in Houston. Good show but age has hurt his range in vocals. 
OLIVE sucks...
I have covered this in a previous post. I had an O4HD bite the dust after 2 yrs of minimal use. I bought directly from OLIVE. Sent to Olive for repair. They could not repair because they no longer have the part - a motherboard - but they sure want... 
new gilmour album
For me, it will be like "On An Island"...will take multiple listens to fully enjoy. 
Is OLIVE still in business?
My 2 yo Olive O4HD had the mother board go out and they could not fix it due to not having the part anymore. No issue to them; they tried to sell me their newezst and only unit, the ONE. No F'ing way will I buy another product from them or their s... 
Macintosh--MCD-550 or MCD-500 anyone hear them
I have owned a MCD500 for 4 yrs now. A very good performing SACD player plus the internal DAC can be used by an external source (like my piece of shit Olive O4HD). 
Beware Olive owners
Elybry - at the very least they should send you an Olive ONE 2TB server. I will never own another OLIVE product and will do what I can to get the word out on their poor CS. 
Upgrade phono cable for new Project DC Carbon TT?
I bought my son a Debut Carbon and tried various levels of AQ cables I had on hand and went back to the supplied one since it sounded just as good. The 2M is a very good cartridge for $100 retail. 
Beware Olive owners
Onhwy61 - my Olive was barely2 yrs old and they did not have available parts to fix an inherent design problems. My server should have been fixable. It is no wonder they now only have one unit to sell. This has absolutely been the worst audio expe... 
Is it time for a phono stage?
Rkbcpa55 - I have not yet purchased a phono stage. I am very pleased with my C2300 MM/MC and have yet to find one that can better it for under $3500 (that's a lot of LPs).
