| What is preferred/best contact cleaner these days? Deoxit | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? Usually after each play session. | |
| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? No reason to. | |
| Why even bother? If they don’t respond to questions about what they have listed, I would take that as a big red flag. Buyer beware. | |
| Surge protector I use a whole home surge protector,Siemens. They are relatively easy to install at the breaker box and around $200. Also good power conditioners offer a level of surge protection as well. | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? Yes, I do listen to entire albums, almost exclusively, whether it’s streaming, or vinyl. However, I do occasionally enjoy the playlists on quobuz. I never make my own playlists. | |

| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? I’ve also been very happy with my McIntosh MC500 plugged into my Shunyata Triton/Typhon Combo. I’ve never had any issues. | |
| Streamer only @randalljkrebs1 Never had a problem with mine. I’ve had more problems with BlueSound Nodes and I’m not knocked them. I don’t think you can beat the ifi streamer at that price point. Just my opinion and I have an Esoteric Network player in my main ... | |
| Streamer only ifi makes a streamer that is in the $300 range that’s excellent, and will give you enough of a savings to purchase a nice ethernet cable and or usb cable to round out a really high performing unit for very little money. I have one mated with their... | |
