The RELs have opened up the presentation in a very tangible way!... As you said, it's not just about adding the lower octaves, but also about providing reference to the stuff above that (hence also the rationale for using a pair of subs)... And the end result has been a more engaging and...
Thanks... I did not go with Magico, as mentioned here:

The End!
Yeap!... Left-Chn on both amps! (since that's the active output in Mono/Bridge mode).
(BTW, just for the record... I intend to stay the course!... A single m900U is working fine with the Quads! :))
I hear you!.. Famous last words, right? :)
But seriously, the Quads seem fine with a single (stereo) amp, especially since the RELs are taking care of the bottom end.
(Anyway, I won't dismiss your suggestion... Thanks for the feedback)
Great summary, thanks!... My bad!, by "comparing" I meant the end result, as in which system produces the cleanest records or best bang for the buck. For example, based on personal experience, you could compare AudioDesk to Elma-DIY (but I have a feeling that I already know the answer to that :)).
BTW, I can see how making comparisons between systems would be difficult because the condition of test records may not be similar... But, I'm curious how these Elma-based DIY cleaners, with so much configurability and power, compare (at least on average) with well-known RCMs like Klaudio...

Thanks for the feedback!... But I'm still a bit unclear on the Degas cycle (prior to item #1)... Are there recommended Temperature and Time settings for the degassing cycle?
--EDIT--
The P60H alludes to at least configuring the Time setting as Degas mode is enabled.
Sounds good!
As the tank gets hot between batches, I could run the fan (intended for drying), and circulate the solution (pump+filter).
(I don't plan on cleaning all day anyway :) )
Neil, once again, thank you!
Great, thanks!... The P60H should arrive next week! (also ordered the "Ultimate Pro" kit from CleanerVinyl).
BTW, I was hoping on being able to effectively clean at least 3 records per batch, and it seems that's feasible! :) .
The width of the tank is 151mm (~6 inches), so I'll try to space 3...
Just a few follow-up questions (in the context of P60H, "no rinse", 10mim @37KHz+10 min@80KHz):
1) On the Degas: Do I add the Tergitol before or after?... Can I circulate the tank (Pump+Filter) while degassing?... What's the recommended Temperature at the start?... How much time should I set it...
