The VPI 16.5 would be a nice step up for you. I went to it from a record doctor. No comparison, the VPI is easier to use and quicker. Less time cleaning means more time listening. They show up here used all the time in the 300-400 range. New is $500 I believe.
What Cleaning Machine?
Have used a Nitty Gritty 1.5 for many years with OK results. Use their cleaning solution, as well. Probably time to consider an upgrade as many people have said the VPI cleaning machine is better - lower noise (cracks & pops).
Don't have any specific budget, but the VPI seems reasonable.
Also, what associated cleaning solutions do you use with good results?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
