| Help me clean and restore my vinyl collection I like the generic plastic antistatic inner and outer sleeves from sleevetown.com. Cheap and good! The Buggtusse concentrate (available from Audio Advisor amongst others) is the way to for cleaning. | |
| My weakest link?? What in particular do you find lacking in your system? | |
| Arm board material? A sheet of carbon fiber material would probably be good as well. It's strong and non-resonant. | |
