LP Cleaning

mofi, your own response leads me to ask myself...If I had more posts, (in numbers), say 2000, would you have responded in the same way?

Yes, I would have.

mofi, In your response to me, (I assume you are saying you were wrong?)

No, I am not wrong you are. Also, you apparently don’t read, (or comprehend) very well. I said I understood, not that I agree.

whart, you should really chime in now. You have the FLOOR.

whart never asked me to comment.  I did that on my own.

You now say, "sorry, I’ve taken this off topic", then apologize to the OP?

Yes, because I was the one that spoke out about your comment to whart. I could have left it alone, but didn’t. See that’s how human beings are supposed to act.

What world am I living in??

You’re own little world that’s for sure...

Man you need to switch to decaf!

My world responds to others who should save their defense of other's misinformed. misread comments for more relevant, INFORMED responses.

I finally get it... I'm living in the "bizzarro world"!

I'll now bow out for you all to continue on.

Back on track here, hopefully, I can relate some LP cleaning experiences.  I started way back when using a mild dishwashing soap solution and rinsing with tap water followed by towel wiping, then going to a Discwasher brush onto which a cleaning fluid was applied, then 25 years ago going to a Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaner.  With this I tried various alcohol-based and non-alcohol-based cleaners, then enzymatic cleaners, the last of which seemed to work best when followed by a purified water rinse.

Recently, though, I went to a KL Audio ultrasonic cleaner and this has made a big difference in both surface noise and fidelity of the records I clean.  The problem with the KL is its cost but there are some others seen here on the Gon that use a simple motorized spindle to spin the record through a relatively inexpensive benchtop ultrasonic cleaner like those seen in a laboratory.  In many cases the use of my KL Audio cleaner has allowed me to buy somewhat lesser quality records and then resurrect them.  If you have a large investment in LPs and a high-end system, I would highly recommend the purchase of such an ultrasonic cleaner.
