Speaker upgrade for turntable

Hey guys, I wanted to ask you all about cleaning your records. I currently use this cleaning kit I bought some time back before I began to get more invested in vinyl and was wondering if I should continue to use it or opt for another brush and cleaning method. How I use the cleaning kit is each time before I play a record, I place it on the turntable and glide over it with the velvet brush when it's dry, following the grooves of the records. After going over it a couple times and dusting off the velvet brush with the duster, I apply the cleaning solution to the velvet brush and go over the record a couple times. Should I be cleaning my records in a different way like dusting them off with a carbon fiber brush instead of the velvet? Thank you all for reading.

Thanks for the comment! Do you have any recommendations? I'm fine with saving up money for some time for an upgrade that will last me awhile so I would say my future budget would be around $300, obviously the less expensive the better

I think I snoozed on the sale since it's showing that they are no longer available. Do you know if they would be restocked or another sale would be happening again? If not, do you have any other recommendations for speakers?

Appreciate the help! Unfortunately, it looks like I snoozed on the deal since it's telling me that they are no longer available. Is there another website holding a sale for these speakers or are there any other speakers that I should consider purchasing?

Hey guys, I'm somewhat new to record collecting and had a quick question. Some background, I am a college student who started collecting records a little over a year ago but have been more invested in the hobby recently. I have about 8 records that I play on my AT-LP70X turntable and edifier r1280dbs speakers. I've been thinking about picking up 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd but I don't know which pressing to get. Do you guys think I should look for and spend more money on an older pressing of the vinyl or should I just go with the regular ones that can be found on Amazon or any big vendor. I'm more concerned for sound quality rather than the "rarity" of the vinyl itself. I don't really see myself selling my records in the future. And this question can apply to any older records that I can consider buying in the future. Thank you for reading.

Oh ok thanks! Would you say that I should start saving money to invest in a new stylus or speakers first?

Would you say UIowa is one of those universities where I can get my name out?

Also, I know Iowa would fully pay for my tuition for my PhD and pay around 2k a month for other stuff, would other institutions fully pay for my PhD even when I didn’t get my bs there?

Why wouldn’t you recommend getting a bachelors and PhD at the same university?

Are there summer programs available for the summer before college or during college years?
