In-the-Grove lp cleaner

It was only one LP and I maybe played it about a minute before shutting down. Not to take any chances with the stylus I thoroughly cleaned it (Magic Eraser and a light sanding) and inspected it with my loupe and it is fine.

It wasn't worth my time to contact the manufacturer. It was $20 wasted IMO and just threw it out.

wow-i dont see any residue on my lps after using it. anyone else experience residue after using this product?

When I played it I noticed much more noise than usual.

Did you notice this noise Tbromgard? My order hasn't arrived yet from Music Direct, but I'm already considering returning this unopened.

My complaint with this product is that it left a residue on the LP I tested it with.

Ditto my experience with the similar (looking) Nagaoka record cleaning roller, especially when the roller is new.

Such rollers are also ineffective for true record cleaning, since they can't reach down into the grooves.

Given these limitations, I use it only for what it's good at: removing the line of surface filth dredged up by a Hunt CF brush from VERY dusty LPs prior to wet cleaning.

FWIW, my AIVS/Loricraft wet cleaning process removes the visible residue. Since I only use the roller on truly filthy records, a removable residue that's not down in the grooves is a minor inconvenience... better than clogging up the bristles of my wet-cleaning brushes with dust, IMO.

On ~80% of LPs I can remove the visible fluff with the Hunt CF brush alone. In that case I don't bother with the roller... just go directly to wet cleaning.

My $.02

no noise noticed-i am pleased withthe product
