vinyl care VPI felt removal

If you do not want to spend the $20+ for the Vpi replacement use the Disc Doctor replacements. They are easy to replace and come two sets for $11. Do not buy from Music Direct unless you want to spend $5 for shipping such a small item. BTW these work as well or better than the original. I am on my second set. Make sure you note where the old strips line up on the tube before pulling them off:)

And don't ever clean the velvet strips with laundry soap, as the phosphate residue left behind will attach to the record. (Not a good thing)

Clean the velvet strips with the same record cleaning solution that you are currently using. Avoid using IPA (Iso-Propyl Alcohol) based solutions for cleaning the velvet strips, though, since the solvent may break down the glue used to hold the strips in place.

Avoid using tap water as a rinse, since most tap water is high in minerals. (Ever drain your hot water tank?) Imagine that on your record surface.
