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!

Syntax, I presume that your medicine man still has a license to practice, despite the fact that he is retired. Else your mistracking insurance will not cover his services.

Markd51, I second the AIVS recommendation. I was a Beta tester and have used it ever since. Great stuff.

Dear Louisl: +++++ " favorite tweak (or if you consider it a necessity) for obtaining the maximum from your analog rig? " +++++

depend what you mean for analog rig. We can take ( at least ) like analog rig: TT+Tonearm+Cartridge+Phono stage+Tonearm IC cable.
Is this what you are talking about? or only the TT like the thread title say.
Your answer is welcome.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

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
