Hi, nissancrazy; I think whether you decide to go with a Spin Clean or a vacuum RCM depends on how many records you need to clean or think you'll clean in the next few years. I've been using a manual vacuum RCM for about ten years and have cleaned hundreds of records with great success, including some used albums that looked like they were ready for the trash can but turned out to be very quiet after cleaning with the vacuum RCM.
The RCM that I use and recommend is the KAB EV-1, which currently retails for $169.00 USD and is available at http://www.kabusa.com/index_rc.htm.
It's a simple design without an internal vacuum; instead you use your own vacuum and attach it to the EV-1. I'm using an old Electrolux canister vac but many people use the EV-1 with a small shop vac.
I use the Mobile Fidelity (Mo-Fi) brand of cleaning and rinsing solutions and brushes. While I'm sure that there are other cleaning and rinsing solutions that work equally well, I am convinced that the Mo-Fi record cleaning brush is one of the best. The other is the Disc Doctor brush, which was the original. I prefer the Mo-Fi brush because the replacement pads are less expensive. I use two brushes, one for cleaning and one for rinsing so I don't contaminate the rinsing brush and then just swap brushes when I replace the cleaning pad every 100 albums or so. (The "old" rinsing pad brush becomes the "new" cleaning brush.)
So, if you have at least a couple hundred albums and plan on steadily adding to your record collection, I recommend the KAB EV-1 vacuum RCM. The total cost would be about $245 - $265 as follows:
KAB EV-1 $170
Mo-Fi brush(es) $20 - $40
Mo-Fi solutions $30 + $25
Seems like a lot of money but if you start with the first 200 albums it's $1.22 - $1.32 per record. I think it's worth it for the improvement in sound quality. If you end up cleaning 400 albums the cost per LP is down to $0.60 - $0.65, which is definitely worth the cost. As you add to your collection, the cost per LP steadily decreases.
Something to consider anyway.
Regards,
Tom
PS: Be sure to buy replacement inner sleeves when you clean LPs; they can be found for $0.10 - $0.40 per sleeve depending on quality.
