If remotely serious about vinyl I’d go for the record cleaning machine. Essential things if you buy any second hand vinyl and remarkably effective on new vinyl too. I actually clean everything before its first play now. I’ve had an RCM since the late-90s and I can’t imagine life without it.
I must admit, I have a bit of an obsession about cleaning my records! Once you latch on to the advantages of no static, stylus not getting clogged up, no noise etc., it's hard to resist. I've cleaned all of my LP's and 12"singles and I'm working my way through the thousand odd 7" singles that I have. I think that an RCM can be considered an upgrade to your record player. I re-sleeve all of my records too.
