    what's your budget, are you wanting powered, vintage, new, etc? what do you primarily listen to?

    Do you mean you have every pressing they've ever put out? If so, that's amazing. How many records?

    powered speakers you plug your turntable directly into a speaker and connect the second one with a between the two. it's a simple setup. Vintage speakers are ones made in the 70s, 80s, sooooome 90s that will be bigger, louder, and less expensive but will require a receiver/amp between the speakers and your turntable.

    I really really need 52 Weeks on wax. So expensive though

    I wish Standards was also a bit cheaper. At least where I saw it, it was a little overpriced in my opinion. I Also really need to pick up 12 Weeks at some point

    My girlfriend bought me Chet Baker Sings and I've barely been able to stop listening to it.

    Yeah every album variant. I think it's over 85 records. They keep repressing them though so I'll have to draw the line somewhere.

    How necessary is it that I use a brush? I've had some of my records since at least 2012, and a good amount are used and older than that. I've never done anything to them other than spin them. I don't really notice any thing wrong with them when they play, so I never really felt like I had to go buy one

    I use an anti static brush on my records right before I play them so junk doesn't get caught on the needle. Wouldn't say it's necessary but it helps.

    I have noticed when I play records sometimes there will be a trail of dust hanging on the needle as it plays. I'm guessing the brush avoids that

    Okay, that makes sense, I do notice dust on my needle sometimes. Thanks
