Thanks so much for this great information. As far as my LP collection is quite small. I only have about 20 brand new MOFI albums and another dozen or so older but never used ones.
To put it in perspective I have about 60,000 tracks of pristine, immaculate quality digital and I have been honing my digital system with vibration / Isolation / cable / tech / power supplies for years and have got it to travel to a very good place.
The reason I know my last 2 tries at vinyl were wrong were because they sounded terrible.
Perspective, I have a $50.00 USB to RCA HRT Music streamer DAC that I used to use for my laptop and cheap desk top speakers. It is an impressive little bugger. Sort of like the Audioquest Dragon Fly which is a great little performing under $100 laptop dac.
When I plugged this in both times it sounded much better than the $20,000 analogue front ends. One had cable and impedance matching problems and the other broken cart problems so not fair to blame the rigs but wanted to show my main choice for a Rega table/cart choice this time around.
I was planning on getting a record cleaner and am glad you jumped in with this great advice. Please let me know what you guys think I should get to get started.
So do I clean the Stylus after record side? I did not know that?
Can you please tell what brush to get to do this and how often I should do it.
Also how about the records. What brush should I get and should I do before each listen? Do i need gloves to do this so i don't touch the records?
I bought a Mobil Fidelity record cleaning brush. Is this one ok or should I get something else?

This is the type of info I need to know and so appreciate this.
Thanks
