Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs

he's a slave to fashion...love that jacket and tie combo.

I'm good with my Spin Clean until I can afford an Audio Desk.

Every RCM that I've used made the record's sound worse. Those ultrasonic machines are Chinese garbage. They don't even work as they're suppose to. And the real industrial machines are incredibly expensive.

Cleaning by hand is the only way. Cotton ball heavily soaked in 91% alcohol. Clean in the direction of the grooves and apply decent pressure. Keep doing it until the cotton ball remains clean. Usually 2-3 per side. 

Yikes!

Really? That’s remarkable, given that so many have had different experiences. Which ones have you used?

Alcohol? Why use a solvent to clean an LP when you can use a good ultrasonic RCM and avoid solvents completely? Or, you can use other methods and substantially reduce your use of solvents.

Because alcohol cleans well and has no effect on vinyl. I used VPI and Audio Desk.
