I agree - goat hair brush and my audio deske system cleaner. Would add Stillpoint ultra 5 or separate power supply for innovation wood.
 
the little stylus brush that came with both my ortofon cartridges. so id say they were free accessory that i couldnt live without. and is used everytime before my stylus hits the record.

Myles kontact rules and i forgot about it until you mentioned it here. im ordering some tomorrow, thank you.

im cheap accessory guy and im loaded with things you can get anywhere for a few $$, if that. i scour stores like home depot, and go up and down every aisle and look at everything, trying to find things to use for my stereo/rack/floor/amp/ampstand, anything.
i could do a whole thread on how much stuff i find and what i use it for, but i will give you my favorite. the small soft rubber stick on pads. they are like 2mm thick.always by the furniture sliders. i peel and stack 2 of them . then i use them for everything, under the feet of my amp, phonostage. in between sheets of granite on all corners, under the floor savers under my speaker spikes and rack spikes. under cable risers. there are endless uses for these and they are like $2 for 8 of them. most of the time i dont even peel the back and make them permanent.

Aluminati Reference solid stainless steel record weight,

Who was that fellow who was machine aluminum chassis', record clamps, etc. Was he here or on audioaficionado?

Myles... He was one of Ivan's sponsors. I bought two weights off them. The aluminium with a custom name engraving. Also the Reference stainless steel. The SS is a great weight.

Their one piece CNC aluminium chassis blocks are like the Lumin.

Steve, you should do a thread on this! I'd encourage it! Us non-audiophile types (although I may be the only one here) would find it useful.

Yes, I was wondering about getting them to make a snazzy chassis for my tape preamplifier. :) Only their website hasn't been working. Get one page but get error messages when going to other pages including contact page.
 
1) Loricraft record cleaner. Awesome performance, quiet, and doesn't break a sweat no matter how many records I clean.

2) Jenga blocks under speaker cables. If you get a set of Jenga blocks at a flea market, it's like $5.

3) MoFi inner sleeves. They're my favourites. Low on static, nice quality, and usually fit inside the original inner sleeve, allowing you to keep your originals seamlessly.

When you post your setup in the user system forum, be sure to post a pic of the jenga blocks and how you stack them. I love cheap tweaks that do the same thing as similar costly ones.
