How to apply LP9 stylus cleaner?

Here we go again: $5000 budget, which HT speakers?
Vandersteen 2ce or 3A for the front. Vandersteen VSM for the sides, and of course, Vandersteen center channel. Then get a inexpensive used sub for the LFE channel. With the Vandersteens you will then also have a great music system.

Eliminating humming & buzzing
I just went through the same thing. While any of the above answers may fix your proplem there is one more place to look. The cables from your turntable to your phono stage are very sensitive to RFI. I kept changing cables until I found that in my ... 
Live at Carnegie Hall
408 titles! Dang, they must have both kinds of music, Country and Western,LOL. Wonder how much is available on vinyl.I don't know about Judy Garland but, if I stumble across the record I'll give it a shot. What kind of music does Renaissance play?
