The best speaker you ever heard?
The ones in my living room, heavly moddified Klipsch K-Horns with fc260 tratrix horn and a BMS 4592 2in driver.

If you don't like the idea of playing your tapes all the way through, I suggest you record them that way you would not ruin your TP tapes.

Nitty Gritty Mini-Pro cleaning machine
I use the manual one with excellent results, no problems with changing out the velour. I also use the VPI brush instead of the N.G. one. I do clean both sides as well. 
TT suggestions for a newbie.
You could not go wrong with a VPI Scout, maybe a little out of your price range. You could get a used one with a MM cartridge, and that should hold you just fine. Unless of course you decide to sell me all your LP's!!! LOL!!! 
VPI Dust Cover
I got a custom made case for my SM from J Display Case.

Would one of you guys give me the exact dimensions of the sds?
