Nagaoka CL-152 Record Cleaner?

Doug,

My bad. Too much single malt & too loud music! If I could wipe that post I would.

I misread. BTW, I never thought of using it first (I have now read and understood your point!). It seems that it would take some of the wear away from the brushes and pickup tube. I'm going to give it a shot on some grungy lp's I picked up over the weekend and see how it works.

I guess I can't knock it until I give it a shot. After all, I did buy the thing, I just never used it because I thought it would leave too much residue.

Single malt? Did someone say single malt?

It's after noon and I haven't had my first glass today. Must... stop... this... slacking...

As for the line of microdust left by the Hunt - I use a slightly wet Discwasher with a quick roll motion to remove that small line. Gets almost all of it, then I repeat the Hunt/Discwasher process again. I thought maybe the Nagaoka would be faster and easier than the wet Discwasher, but if there's a residue I'll skip it.

HERESY! - As for grimy thrift store/ yard sale records - Don't Worry Be Happy. Tap water, oil-free dishsoap, and a DiskDoctor pad works great - then dry with a soft old tee shirt. Final rinse with distilled water. Sounds fine.
