Great post. ...."it seems to me that enjoyment is at the highest when I score a 50cent record at a yard sale that knocks my socks off. With proper care, cleaning, and set-up a well executed vinyl rig should be able to do just that."

When I started back in vinyl the most important thing I found was to start with a clean record and use a record clamp. You can spend a $79 on a spin clean or thousands on more sophisticated machines. I am using a VPI record cleaning machine with different types of solutions work fine. I also find that a MC cartridge is quieter for hearing pops and clicks as the stylus goes deeper into the grooves. Lastly the record clamp helps to flatten the record and bond it better to the TT.
