Do you hear anything different from your cartridge? If I were you I'd make sure your stylus isn't damaged before proceeding. I know this from painful experience. Once by sheer coincidence my stylus got damaged just after I bought a new record cleaning machine. Took me a while to realize that the filaments on my stylus were actually shreds of vinyl (and had nothing to do with the cleaning process). That was fun! I hope you don't have that problem but it's worth taking a look. (if I rubbed the filaments they turned into dust).
Record Cleaning Mystery
I have the Pro-Ject Record Cleaning Machine and something odd and irritating is happening lately. Every record recently cleaned has deposited a fuzz ball on my stylus. While listening the sound will degrade, I go look and sure enough a ball of fuzz. The machine seems to work good, the records look great and do sound clean but half way through the record the fuzz mucks up the stylus. Does anyone who might own this cleaner experience this as well? I trade off between Mobile Fidelity cleaning fluids and the one supplied by Pro-Ject. I also use the supplied brush. Thanks in advance.
