Received my Pro-Ject Debut III turntable this morning. I feel that I may have now officially passed the point of no return. Lord help me.
The Pro-Ject Phono Box found its way into my lap as well. Actual pics of 'em both playing nice with the rest of the children in the rig soon to come. Along with all impressions, meanderings, droolings, and nonsensical blatherings.

I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

I still have a Denon TT with an OM 5E and they are a very decent cartridge. I had an OM 20 on my Rega. If one desires to upgrade the OM series to a 10, 20, 30 or 40, just buy the stylus and slip it on.Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 *

I'll be going vinyl hunting this weekend. But per Troy's advise, nothing is getting played until I have the proper cleaning supplies. Any suggestions on the cheap?I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore.

Guess, I'll have to bring the Pro-Ject Phono Box as well:D As an aside, the phono pre is rather tiny, but solid.. I knew it would be small, but not that small.
And let the jokes begin.......

Fortunately for a TT newb, the Debut is pretty much plug n' play. In fact, the cartridge already comes installed.

You need:
A Clamp, The Clamp
VPI 16.5
Cleaning Brushes
Disc Doctor fluid or Call BDT
ZeroDust cartridge stylus cleaner
parostatik or equilvliant brush for final dressing
clean smoking jacket
some records
Various other wizmos and gizmos but that will get you started, notice I said started.

Can I substitute a potato sack for the "clean smoking jacket"?

I got a digital scale and Onzow Zerodust stylus cleaner from Sorasound @ Audiogon. I spoke to Mehran before ordering and he did right by me.

On the LP cleaner....yeah, I gotta say go VPI 16.5. I had the NG machine. It did a good job but the VPI is MUCH MUCH better. If you go with the NG machine and you have the room to do it, get a cheapie DIRECT DRIVE old table and yank off the arm and use that platform for the scrubbing. Then vaccuum on the NG.
If you'd like to try my cleaning ju-ju (which is Ken's recipe) I can hook you up with the additives to make a gallon. Just add to a gallon of DISTILLED water and viola. I would need you to send me a small leak-proof container.

Pretty soon you will start to have erotic dreams involving tonearms. You will sell your car to buy a record cleaning machine. You will have nightmares involving vinyl-eating molds and bacteria that are going to lay waste to your collection of LPs. You will develop a vinyl cleaning compulsion and start washing your discs like 50 times a day, Then, you will sell your children into bondage, and force your wife into a life of prostitution to pay for that premium Benz moving coil cartridge. You have started down the slippery slope.
In short, you are screwed. -

I think that is a very generous offer, and one which I think I'll take you up on.
