I second Wntrmute. DIY for less money.
I spent half the potential savings on an industrial grade 80 KHz machine, which puts more energy into tiny crevasses (like record grooves). The improvement over the 16.5 is huge - one Archiv record went from unlistenably noisy to averagely quiet.
Can't bear to think of what those (relatively) filthy records were doing to my expensive styli before - but never again.
