awesome_welles Posted April 8, 2014 Report 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 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
Homefromtheforest Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 I have an AT440mla which is superb Quote
sidewinder Posted April 8, 2014 Report 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
