[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1990343, member: 10336"] When the vinyl renaissance started picking up traction 5-6 years ago I was able to pick up all kinds of stuff in decent-ish condition for $4-6 used. Now everything's at least $10 for similar condition. I've bought a few that were unplayable, but almost everything benefitted from running through an ultrasonic cleaner and then some spot cleaning as needed. And to segue back into the DAC discussion, I capture all my vinyl at 24-bit, 384,000 Hz, run it through some basic non-invasive cleanup tools (mostly via Audacity unless I need to get aggressive), then rip it down to FLAC. I use a portable DAC from iBasso and some wired Bose headphones, and everything sounds pretty darned good, although I'm far from an audiophile. [/QUOTE]
