Go to the Tracking Angle website, where Michael Fremer has an LP-cleaning primer. A really detailed, thorough one.

I would probably get a LAST deep cleaner plus a bottle of Audio Intelligent ultra pure water, or Audio Intelligent three step system with Archivist as step 2 plus three Disc Doctor brushes, or just Archivist bottle plus Ultra Pure Water bottle and two brushes. Chianti won't work, either before or after or instead. I recommend good Bordeaux after. |
Much cheaper than a cleaning machine, but very effective is the Spin Clean mk2... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UKSZUU?keywords=spin%20clean%20mkii%20record%20washing%20system... |
Hmm, I cant imagine submerging a record in liquid! I highly recommend saving a little cash over time and seeking a used record cleaning machine such as an entry level nitty gritty, Okki Nokki, or VPI, which run $300-$400 for a used one. If that budget is not realistic, there is a system called spin clean for about $120 that looks both interesting and budget friendly. Look on eBay, there are spin clean models there now. while I was checking out eBay for you, I came across something very clever called the UFO record cleaner. It looks like a water tight seal that clamps over the label area to allow wet cleaning without a machine. less than $50. That could be a great budget start into cleaning, and let the more expensive machine come later. |
