I realize that for the better sound I'll have to spend the dinero, but that'll have to wait till the kids are a little older. I'm fortunate that my integrated amp is a late 70's model with a phono stage, so I can get by without an upgrade there for a while. A cleaning machine? ummm, mine would have to be manual.

Well the original post mentioned a scout. I chimed in because I own a scout. If you're planning to go cheaper, I've heard that the Rega P3 is a very good choice and you could possibly get a P3 and tonearm/cartridge for much less than 1K if you scoured the market carefully. That said I've seen some modded Panasonic 1200s which are rumored to sound great as well for much less.
