MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse
I use the enzyme based cleaner for LPs that are new (for mold release), used (with finger prints/mold. I scrub by hand using a MoFi brush and let the fluid sit for 4-5 minutes. Next I rinse with MoFi final rinse and then on to my NG 2.5Fi cleaner....

Try a Rotel RC-1070. These can be had used for your price range. 
Looking 4 good lower cost pre amp $300 to $600
Rotel RC-1070. A 'professional' reviewer stated that the MM phono stage alone on this pre was worth the cost. A no frills pre amp - no tone controls or balance. 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
Frank, Thank you for cleaqring that up with me. I did speak with Steve and he did verufy what you stated. Sorry if I mislead anyone about this issue. 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
I was also told by my dealer that the TTPSU for the P5 & P3/24 are all the same for each dedicated model whereas each P7 TTPSU is matched to the motor; meaning all P7 TTPSU are not alike. 
Cartridge upgrade for Rega P1
Rega P1 is a nice entry-level TT. A rega Elys II would be a nice cartridge for it, although many onthis board donot care for the Rega branded cartridges. A cheaper alternative, since don't know your outlay, would be a Shure M97 or another Ortofon ... 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
I went from a P5 with TTPSU to a P7. On the P5 I was using a Rega Exact cartridge. I trade up to the P7 one year later. The main difference between the two tables is the subplatter, bearings and ceramic platter (cool looking) on the P7. I did hear...

No, each TT model has their own PSU. 
Rega RB 1000: needs rewiring?disable spring?
Ihave a Rega P7 with a RB700 arm. I listened to another rega P7 with arm rewired with Origin Live wire - did not like the sonics, IMHO. They was bloated bass, screeching highs, flat mids. Leave the arm as is. I was told by my dealer that use the A... 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
Correct if I am wrong. Using the Wadia transport with a DAC, can the DAC be hooked up to a preamp that does not have a digital input? Both of my 2 channel preamps inputs are all RCAs. I am currently using my iPod dock with 1/4" plug out to 2 RCA m... 
Lindsey Buckingham
I, too, have enjoyed this LP. Lets hope more artists follow his lead and include uncompressed CDs with LP releases. LB's previous CD was less than stellar to me. I was very pleasantly surprised with this LP. Great sonics and very quiet. Will use a... 
Music for Riding a Storm Out?
Well, I, too live west of Houston in Katy. I did receive some damage (all electronics are OK) but nothing that I can't deal with. I did not board up - I could feel the storm wanting to suck out my windows. I lost power 9:30 Friday night and was no...
