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...

The End!
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...
Hi Neil,
I'm considering a P60H and also the kits from CleanerVinyl (CV)... I'd like to keep it simple since I've never done US before, so a no-rinse solution sounds good to me!... Questions:
1) CV offers a "Micron filter", but based on your "quotes", it sounds like it would best to not use it...
After lots of reading, I find the Von Schweikert Audio VR-55 the most intriguing (i.e., tunable) for my room situation.
I wish I could say that based on actual auditions. but oh well!
Thanks again for all the constructive feedback!
Glad to hear it can be done in the real world"!
I'm sure not all of us can have a dedicated "music" room, yet we'd like to enjoy the music!... as much as it may be possible!
OK, since you're a dealer, may I ask: What are the minimum recommended distances:
1) side-wall to the speaker
2) back-wall to the speaker
3) in-between speakers
4) listening position (to speakers)
Thanks!
I realized that integrating what could be considered an "end game" system into a Game Room would be a tough challenge, if not impossible... I cut-pasted the Pool table into the room to make that point clear.
Hence my reason for coming here to get advice and ideas, so thank you all for that.
I...
Yes, the goal is a system I can enjoy and live with, and be done with "fiddling".
Sure, removing the closet and getting more power are options worth considering, but I'd prefer to avoid them if that's possible... But, I do appreciate what you're saying. Thanks!
BTW, on the M3 vs M2:
I know it...
Yeap, it's a game room! (LOL)... But I'm not following what you mean by "wall mounts both end of the pool table"... Could you please illustrate a bit more?
(BTW, the pool table can only be placed where it is now because the 12-ft end is not wide enough)
Thanks!
To be honest, I had dismissed the CL-1000 (on paper) because of no MUTE function and transformer-based volume control.... but if I get a chance to try it, I will!
I'll have to wait until the M900u arrives (late Dec/early Jan)to make a decision on the Preamp.
I'm currently using a Tron Seven (valve) line-stage (GT specs) but will consider pairing the amp with the C900u (when I'm able to find one to take home to "try before purchase").
