Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning


My Cleaner Vinyl ultrasonic record cleaner arrived today and it’s impressive.

Everything I’d read indicated that ultrasonic was the way to go, and now I count myself among the believers. Everything is better - records are quieter, less ticks and pops, more detail etc.

All my records had been previously cleaned with a vacuum record cleaner and were well cared for. Nonetheless, the difference is obvious and overwhelmingly positive.

The Tiger-Cloth arrived last week. Wonderful!  Soft, adsorbent, easy to use. Can't imagine doing without.

Thanks !

@antinn ,

Can the Tiger-Cloth be washed without losing its anti-static properties?
@slaw,

You should be able to wash it without losing the anti-static properties.  The anti-static property is provided by copper-infused threads that are woven into the fabric.  Anti-static clothing worn by clean-room workers will have carbon threads woven into the fabric and they are laundered routinely.  However, the clean-room garment fabric (made by Burlington) is much lighter & stiffer than the Tiger-Cloth (I bought a piece of the fabric to experiment).  Otherwise, I have not washed my Tiger Cloths in over 2-yrs.  I only use them to remove dust prior to play, and for record cleaning final drying of DI water.  I just shake them out to remove any accumulated dust.
@antinn ,

Thanks. With their shipping cost, to me it makes more sense to buy a box than just one.
