Anyone use/care to comment on the Pro-ject VC-E RCM?


As my small album collection grows I have been investigating different RCMs.  I would love to get an ultra sonic but will save that for somewhere down the line.  Right now I have a somewhat cumbersome washing regimen involving the basement sink, multiple towels, etc.  It actually works fairly well but definitely need a better solution.  Up pops this little unit at a good price with pretty much overall very positive reviews.  I really like the fact that it is aluminum instead of wood.  I have seen a few older wood models that are starting to come apart at the seams - literally.  

 

Anyway, just looking for any user comments if possible.  I think I will pop in to Music Direct later this week and pick one up.  

 

Thanks

FWIW its always helpful to post a link to the product you are asking about. If you are going for a vacuum machine, Record Doctor is the way to go.

Take your pick

OP, I too would be curious to hear the thoughts on the VC-E. While the Record Doctor suggested above probably can do the job, it requires two things that are not an issue for the VC-E. Those are the user has to manually turn the record and the other is that the record is vacuumed from underneath, requiring a wet record to sit on top of the machine facing down. Whether these are problems for the user is an individual choice, but the VC-E is IMO a more complete solution.

It looks better than my Nitty Gritty but this blows it away for 1/2 the price. Do whatever floats your trigger.
