What is the best way to clean Vinyl?

Thanks antinn,

I cleaned the stylus and it seemed to help.  Not perfect, but better.

What is the next step?  US and/or Vacuum device?

I should mention that the stylus is fine when playing new vinyl.

So ,it's not the stylus.

FYI

Is it possible to get a record to sound like a cd or will there always be subtle static in the backround?

A used record that is...

You do seem to be going in circles! Yes, you can get a used record as quiet as a CD, but it depends on the record. Dirt can be removed, scratches cannot.

As for vacuum vs. U/S, you've already had my thoughts on that.
