Tax return burning a hole in my pocket

Ok, I have never won an award for being fiscally responsible. And, I really like listening to vinyl. And I have about 1500 lps, and about another 300 very nice used ones that need cleaning that I don't seem to catch up on. I have a highly modified Nottingham spacedeck, one off bearing, heavy kit, wave mechanic, custom SRA base. Nottingham Ace Space arm and Benz Micro Gullwing SLR cart. Now, help me spend my money, Audio Desk Systeme ultrasonic cleaner or new Graham Phantom tonearm. Can't afford both. Thanks for your input. ( phono amp is Herron VTSP-2 ).

I have a VPI, nice cleaner. lots of solutions, takes too much time though. Also, I am not looking to lots of records, just really nice records. My limit is 2000, then when I add new ones I have to get rid of old ones to make room.

No problem, just fix your tax withholding so no refund appears. I admire your giving the Federal government an interest free loan every year. Save us all money.

Go for the ADS cleaner. It will let you realize your record collection to its fullest. The VPI can not compete. I own the 17f and have had the 16.5 before it.

Can't say how much of an upgrade the Graham would be over your Space arm but I would lean towards the tonearm first. I own the ADS and it is a god send so this really is a hard decision.
