I have the Decca 2+2 brush as well as a Hunt EDA and I prefer the Decca. A spare belt is a good thing to have around, if it's not a DD 'table, obviously. Make sure you check the belt periodically to make it sure it's doing OK. This seems to get overlooked alot. I agree that a good vacuum cleaning system makes a big difference, I have the VPI 16.5 but you can get used Nitty Grittys for very reasonable prices.
"must have" accessories for TT and LP?
LIke many others I am ready to take the plunge back into vinyl. In scanning the posts it seems that there should be a list of what you veterans whould consider as essential equipment to tune and maintain a TT and record collection. What would you folks suggest for the items on such a list?
