If that ones not available, there’s another “working man’s” RCM that gets equally good write ups.
Guys over on the American forum of Steve Hoffman really like it.
£95 sound alright?

It seems to be a YouTube meme that any vid needing anything cutting open (no matter how tiny or irrelevant) requires the use of a ridiculously OTT knife!

I’ve had a full ultrasonic cleaning rig for about two years now and still can’t be bothered to unbox it!

.... upgrade bug.. platter recommends?
got the upgrade bug and probably a present to my deck (oh dear, It's now a member of the family again..lol). and was looking at acrylic platters.
I sit a cork mat on top of the stock glass platter.
does anyone recommend platters? or have indeed used any? if so, what performance upgrade have you heard?
upgrades set for Jan 2020.
cheers
