Good luck, Jack. You're going to need it. 

By the way, the music I listed is what I have. I want to discover new stuff similar to those that I listed. Especially jazz music. Who is similar to Coltrane and Davis? Which other artists should I look for? None of my friends are into jazz, so I'm kind of exploring things in the dark here.

And you're right, PT is extremely hard to find unless you order it first when available for pre-order.

On that Magic Eraser. It is great. BUT be sure that you only dip your stylus into it, don't move it from front to back like you would a brush.

For jazz, I like:

Cannonball Adderly - Something Else
Lee Morgan - Sidewinder
Art Blakey-  Pretty much anything
Horace Silver - Songs for my Father
Oscar Peterson - anything
Monty Alexander - anything
Ray Brown-  anything, but hard to find and expensive
Milt Jackson - anything

There are others I am sure but those just off the top of my head.

Ditto: Be very careful with the Majic eraser

As far as music goes I'm a big rock n roll fan. When it comes to jazz I like the artists already mentioned I would like to add Stan Getz and Dave Brubeck
Maritan PM me your address I have about 6000 LPs I'm sure I can find something to send you

Glad to see the Kenwood running,...........Bill

Wow. That's very generous of you, Bill. One PM coming right up. 

JackD - thanks for the suggestions. Lots of leads to follow there. Thanks!

And I will heed all your advice regarding how to use the Majic Eraser. Thanks, everybody.

JackD:
Pumpkinman: I'm getting into (and really enjoying) John Coltrane (A Love Supreme, My Favorite Things) and Miles Davis (Kind of Blue). Beautiful music all of them.

Those are incredible records. Very ground breaking. There is a whole world of incredible jazz that evolved from those.

Finally, my current staple is Progressive rock - Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Riverside and other similar bands. I have CDs for the bands named here, and I absolutely love listening to them.

That is also my main genre (actually, many sub-genres) of interest. I tend to listen to bands that are even more 'progressive' than the ones you mention, but the ones you mention are pretty damn great!

Here's a few you will probably like:

Indukti
Disperse - Living Mirrors
Kingcrow - In Crescendo
Anvision - Astraphase
