Thanks for the suggestions.
I know he has a nice record cleaner, I'll look into the dust cover (I don't know if he has one or not) and I know he purchased some power cords and interconnects recently but I'm not sure where he is at in that department (what he has and what he needs) Also, he just bought a pretty big collection of albums off of a guy at his office and he complains that he still has a lot of vinyl to clean and listen to so I am not sure this is the way to go. I have done this in the past as well and hope to mix it up this year.
He's always been a hardcore analog guy but he is beginning to consider a cd player. He mentioned the Rega Apollo so I think that is out of my price range. Perhaps he would be better with a lower end model that responds well to upgrading?
He also said he wants to upgrade speaker cable but that seems to be too subjective and too expensive...
