connectors, and we’ll buy it back at the price you paid when<br />
you’re through.<br />

plug. Substitute this Quadstar cable<br />
and box, and add the interconnect<br />
of your choice. straight DIN (shown)<br />
needs 7 cm clearance. If you have<br />
less, get the version with an angled<br />
DIN plug.<br />

box, $248<br />
ORDER: AQPA, Quadstar phono box, angled DIN, $248<br />
TITAN STYLUS LUBRICANT<br />
Amazing, but true: dabbing<br />
a bit of this stuff on your<br />
stylus every 2 or 3 LPs makes<br />
it glide through the groove<br />
instead of scraping. Fine artist’s brush not included, but readily<br />
available in many stores.<br />
ORDER: TSO-1 Titan stylus oil, $39.95<br />
ZEROSTAT ANTISTATIC PISTOL<br />
A classic<br />
adjunct to<br />
the brush is<br />
the Zerostat<br />
anti-static<br />
gun. Squeeze<br />
the trigger<br />
and release: it<br />
ionizes the air,<br />
which becomes<br />
conductive and drains off the static charge. By the way, it works<br />
for a lot more than LP’s. No batteries needed.<br />
ORDER: Z-1 Zerostat antistatic pistol, $94..95<br />
LP SLEEVES<br />
Keep your records clean and<br />
scratch free. Replace dirty,<br />
torn or missing inner sleeves<br />

sleeves, $30<br />
