hey thanks for the advice for those that posted.
i've decided to take natalie's advice and purchase the disc doctor products. also will pick up the shure stylus gauge as soon as i can.
i decided to leave the auto machines alone for the time being and put the dough i saved towards more vinyl or toward a new table. elbow grease i got in spades.
actually, i don't think i will mind cleaning by hand since this will provide more 'involvement' in my hobby on my weekends. i think it will be like my other hobby, gardening. for me the meditation is as much the garden as the act of gardening.
can anyone recommend good sources for vinyl online?
particular titles/label pressings?
i've found the following:
www.amusicdirect.com
www.acousticsounds.com
www.audiophileusa.com
i am mainly looking for vintage/new blues lps ( memphis slim, lightnin hopkins, albert king, furry lewis, muddy waters, you get the picture)
i need some advice on reputable labels (other than MOFI) pressing vinyl, i don't want shoddy recordings.
i suspect not all 180g lps are cut from the same cloth.
thanks again
