awesome_welles Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) At the moment I have a Technics SL-BD22, Arcam Aplha 3 amplifier, Wharfedale Denton 2XP speakers which I bought second hand and cost me about £35 each. My stylus is an Audio Technica AT-92E (with an elliptical stylus). I have a bottle of record cleaning fluid and a cloth but I mostly use my microfibre brush. And I have a little stylus brush and liquid similar to this: Would either of these be a useful investment? Knosti Disco Antistat Record Cleaning Kit (£39.95 with free delivery on eBay UK) A tracking force guage (the SL-BD22 is factory preset, does that mean that it'll always be correct or shuld I check it?) And are there any better cartridges out there for a similar price (£20-30)? From a bit of forum browsing, the Shure M92E doesn't seem to be considered better than the AT-92E.

paul secor Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) A Shure M97xE cartridge will track better than the Audio Technica, which will give your LPs more protection from being chewed up. However, it costs $89 (£50 ?). Might be worth considering. Edited April 8, 2014 by paul secor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 The Disco Antistat (German piece of kit) is quite effective but is a bit of a pig to use and can end up messing the labels of your LPs if the liquid leeches through the clamp. Mine has been gathering dust for years ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
