Vinyl Care

I just got a new turntable and cartridge after not having one for years.

I need a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive record cleaner.

I really never took proper care of my records,and would like some basic advice on how to keep them clean on a regular basis.

I also need some guidance on care and cleaning of my cartridge and stylus.My currant cartridge is a Rega exact.

Please know that I don't have a big collection of valuable records,just a bunch of old rock recordings amassed over the past 50 years.

I have started buying some new records,but only select prized albums that I have lost or have been worn out.

Thanks.

I had one for almost 15 years and thousands of LP's. I sold it last year for as much as I paid for it way back when. The only reason I sold it was to upgrade to something more automated as I've aged and my arthritis has increased. I now have a Clearaudio Double Matrix Pro Sonic. Yes, it's vastly more expensive, but it works very well.
