I last posted a couple years ago; my setup hasn't changed much. GoldenEar Triton 2s Marantz TT15S1 with modified Clearaudio Virtuoso Rotel RA-1570 Parasound Zphono XRM I miss a few of you.

I've grown so old in the last 5 years.

Damn I figured I outlived both of you.

They still let you post here?

I did a LOT of record cleaning research back when I was a grad student. Now as a lab director in metagenomics, I have some strict rules on cleanliness of solutions. I throw out water in clean-rooms after a year. The growth of microbial communities can be seen in less than a month from opening a sterile water bottle. I would throw out your bottle. Buy a MoFi Super Record Cleaner Wash, and you'll be good to go. DIY is just not worth it overall. I used to make lab grade record cleaner for people on this site 10yr ago. Cost for quality DIY vs MoFi is negligible.

I've got an Emotiva Sub10 that's sitting in a closet. It'll be a good match.

Deciding on grills on/off? Deciding on speaker stands? White on white no grill looks nice.

This must be the cheapest thing in your setup.

Bruh.

Nevermind saw your post.

Its a nice table. I used one for years back in the early 2000s. Very simple machines; a new belt and cartridge will do wonders.

I'm a fan of Rotel; and they use a nice MM. Not sure the comparability of the RA-1062/RA-1570 to the A-10; but I've enjoyed their onboard phonos. But also

Get some matching Marantz speakers from the same era. Its fun. And then buy all modern gear.

Oh my I didn't even read what turntable they were using. They deserve all the crying baby photos now.

Hey Chumps. These have been sitting in a box since I bought my house. Check the link here. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649172649-sonus-faber-venere-15-bookshelf-speakers-with-matching-stands/

I would check everything. Any major movements or changes require checks.

Are you new to the internet?

Better throw out your whole system just in case.

Nope. Ignore this. My posts dive into why this is bad.

If you use the search function; "clean" "cleaning" you'll find a LOT of my posts on this forum from when I cared more about you goons. As a molecular scientist, a really dove into cleaning records. In a nutshell; vacuum is the best option. Everything else; not so great.

Just with better feet.
