The Spanish quality is made up of others in a very old amlagam, long since stablied.

I have 2 systems, one "reasonably priced" Pioneer SX580 receiver, Sony MB100H speakers, and my new Sony PS LX250 turntable. I wanted to try it with my small system and if I liked playing records, I will eventually get a real nice turntable to use on my other, more expensive system. I just absolutely love it. I had been buying records mostly at the Goodwill stores for 3-4 years so I have quite a few. I'm listening to Marty Balin "Hearts" album right this minute. I can't believe how much I like it. I'm wondering what is the cheapest, best solution for cleaning the records as I can't afford a record cleaning machine for awhile. Thanks, Sandra

Smw30yahoocom (Sandra), Congratulations! I'm happy to have you with us in the world of vinyl-lovers. Cleaning your records will absolutely give you better sounding results and will protect them from unnecessary wear.

My recommendation for superb cleaning results is to purchase the Disc Doctor "Miracle Record Cleaner" (scroll down a page) solution and brushes and then follow Disc Doctor's recommended manual cleaning procedure. I prefer the original "Miracle" formula that requires a distilled water rinse to the new no-rinse "Quickwash" formula. You can buy directly from Disc Doctor or from various mail order companies, such as Acoustic Sounds.

Disc Doctor works very well in a purely manual cleaning regimen, and you can add a RCM later for convenience if your chose. The RCM adds convenenience, but it won't improve the cleaning result you can get from the manual Disc Doctor procedure.
