What is your experience with the Spin Clean?

I made the mistake of leaving about 400 records in my basement...for yrs, they were in boxes and I had to peel the lps from the covers, thought they were gonners

most were covered in...yuk...great test for my set up...I took 10 bad ones and cleaned them with spin clean, then dried them with the record doctor....the reservoir in the spin clean got dirty pretty fast.....then I played them...WOW...they were ok and looked good too.....I saw a video of a guy with this combo who had like 15k records and felt it got close to the big buck cleaners.

It makes sense....you wash your clothes...then dry them.....wash your records....then dry them....I have done about 80 lps...all with great results

and these were in bad shape.

Hey

superH have you tried to use the Spin Clean alone and if so what were the results?

Cleaned my first 3 records today with the new Guru and it’s a big thumbs up. The records sounded phenomenal. These were 3 old releases from 60 years back . One was a used copy of “Music of Leroy Anderson Vol. 2 on Mercury Living Presence, a phenomenal golden age of vinyl recording, that I picked up used a few years back and only played once in that it did not sound great. Couldn’t tell if it was just dirty or damaged. Anyhow after a spin in the Guru it sounded pretty close to immaculate.

Been eyeballing US record cleaners for awhile and was waiting for one that would do the job well, be easy to use, and not cost a fortune. So far so good with the Guru. I like that I can just press a button and it cleans and dries automatically in just a few minutes and is ready to go. Just what the doctor ordered! Seems to be well designed and the manual was very helpful getting off to a good start. Very exciting to be able to easily get my records clean again without a major production.

Nice mapman!

👍

Thanks @jjbeason14 I’ll probably hold on to the spin clean as a backup if ever needed. I did add just a few drops of the cleaning solution that came with the spin clean to the hguru water. Didn’t try without it yet. I’m sure there are many record cleaning solutions that might help in small doses. I used to use a very low concentration of Shaklee Basic H when manually cleaning records and that always worked well.

Helpful thread. Thanks to all.
