Vinyl Care

I just got a new turntable and cartridge after not having one for years.

I need a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive record cleaner.

I really never took proper care of my records,and would like some basic advice on how to keep them clean on a regular basis.

I also need some guidance on care and cleaning of my cartridge and stylus.My currant cartridge is a Rega exact.

Please know that I don't have a big collection of valuable records,just a bunch of old rock recordings amassed over the past 50 years.

I have started buying some new records,but only select prized albums that I have lost or have been worn out.

Thanks.

Wow,that's a lot of steps.

I will only be doing the few albums I still listen too.

I do want to take care of my stylus and cartridge though.

Is there a place I can get all theses supply's?

I want to start with the brush and stylus cleaner.

Thanks

I'am just going to wait for the VPI,as I don;t have many albums that I listen too.

Where can I get a anti static gun,that is something I need?

I was just wondering last night,why a album that I was playing that is almost new,starts out sounding good and ends up with a lot of crackling by the end of the album.

Thanks

Had the original Record Doctor years ago and kept it for 20 years and sold it with all the Accessories for it. If you don't mind the noise and spinning manually, and once you become comfortable using it, it's a value performer.
