Um, he's wrong. What he probably meant was, "Any cleaner (that we sell) does the same thing." ;-) It's been several months since I last ordered RRL, but at that time Galen Carol had the best price IIRC. http://www.gcaudio.com |
I take the dresired record from it's sleeve, put it on the 'table, clap it down with a Black Diamomd Racing carbon fiber record clamp. The best clamp I've used including the new VPI delrin/stainless. It cost $350 though. I set my stylus in the Zerodust not once but twice. Then I appy some Stylast to a Benz brush and carefully apply some stylast to the stylus. Then I break out a lighted magnifing glass and check to make sure my sylus is spotless. I turn on the 'table giving the clamp a little twist to help bring it up to speed. Then I use a Demma carbon fiber to clean the dust and other malfuntions off the record. Then I lower the stylus and enjoy. If it's winter and static is a problem I zap the record and arm with a Zerostst until I hear no more zaps. |
Scottht, I would check out LAST record presevative and Stylast as well. I have records I've played over and over: no wear, no clicks, no pops. As far as Stylast is concered the only people who don't like it sell cartidges for a living. You do have to apply judiously making sure none of it travels up the cantilever. Your stylus will last 3000+ hours. In fact your compliance and suspenion will give out first. Your stylus builds up tremendous heat from the friction to the point it actually mealts the groove as it passes by. With stylast that won't happen. So between LAST and Stylast you can play record indefitly. I apply LAST right after a good cleaning with a 16.5 and they say it's good for 200 plays allthough I know I have records I've played more than that!! Good Luck and good listening |
