I also use a disco anti-stat record cleaner. Great results from this, using the supplied liquid.

I have amazon music. Use it in car via the phone app. And in house when no time to stick the vinyl on. Use the analogue output out of one of the amazon speakers. I'm sure I can improve on that. Used to use google music via chromecast audio before it changed to youtube music. Still have all my cds up...
