Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help
If you are not opposed to Tubes you might want to try an ARC VSi-60. At the moment there are a couple for sale here on this site; no affiliation. 
Pass XA-30.5 and PSB Synchrony One

looking for opinions

Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
This is also a good low cost cleaner but you need to supply your own Vacuum cleaner.http://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/ 
Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
I use a Spin Clean and like it very much and feel it is well worth the money. I do on occasion need to clean a record two or 3 times before it is acceptable. And if damage has occurred then there is very little you can do about that.

I would try here as Bill Thalmann used to design circuits at cj http://www.musictechnology.com/
