Glad you're enjoying it. There's nothing like some good and clean vinyl to truly appreciate music.
Just realized you said you'll be listening to garage sale vinyl. What are you using to clean your vinyl?
If you don't have one, a vacuum machine will be a huge upgrade. The KAB EV-1 is about $170. It's a Nitty Gritty minus the vacuum; simply connect your own and you're good to go. Add a $25 or so hand held stream cleaner, and your vinyl will sound about as flawless as it gets.
I tried a ton of different things before I broke down and bought the EV-1. In hindsight, everything else was a waste of time.
