What's your favorite Turntable tweak?


I know that this is a huge topic, but what's your favorite tweak (or if you consider it a necessity) for obtaining the maximum from your analog rig?

This can be anything from a new record mat, to vibration control (ie, ginko clouds), to alignment tools, vinyl cleaners (favorite vacuums, cleaning fluids, brushes, etc), record sleeves, anti-static guns, etc.

Along with your recommendation, please feel free to mention specific brands that you recommend.

In advance, thanks for your input!

I'll put in "my" vote, for AIVS Cleaning Products, just so the "Walker Boys" here don't have themselves a stronghold monopoly,lest everyone think Lloyd Walker is the only one who can market exceptional cleaning products. Ain't so!

Yes, cleaning Is very important. Probably the best tweak of all, is a good snifter of Brandy, or glass of Wine before enjoying Music. Mark
Hello Dopogue/All,
AIVS's new 15# Pre-Cleaner is also a fantastic product, which I'm finding works extremely well, especially on any of my thrifts finds.

As for cleaning, we all will pretty much concur-agree, that a good RCM is a wise purchase.

And again a huge thanks to those in this forum, who suggested the use of the MintLP Protractor, and the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. These two tweaks have helped extract much better fidelity from my rig, as I'm sure, many others as well. Mark
