Perfect Vinyl Forever

The best service is to handle your vinyl carefully and correctly. That way they should stay clean and won't need anything but to be played and enjoyed.   AB

you responses are appreciated, BUT AGAIN, I am asking not your opinions on various LP cleaning methods, not your personal preferences, not what machine(s) are preferred or Hz levels,  not whether you think the price per LP is reasonable, BUT simply experience with sending LPs to others to have them cleaned...how was the service itself, the results and your overall satisfaction.....thank you
 

Not worth the money or time. That’s what folks are telling you, but you’re not listening.

Apparently someone did not read or comprehend the responses!

"I have used PVF probably a dozen times over the past 5 years. It is an excellent service. Very professional. Never a hiccup. 
I clean my records once with PVF and they don’t need to be cleaned again but for an occasional rinse. If they are handled with care and returned to sleeve right after usage. No need to bother with a home unit I have found. "

 

@wolfie62 Dogberry is right. US can’t cure abused records, but US gets the most from the records you have.

I run a high power lab unit at 80KHz, 2 records at a time. If you fill a low power unit running at 40 KHz with 10 records, you won’t get much cleaning.

Full disclosure: ESL system, air bearing turntable. I think I’d detect a null effect.

I got my 10L US tank in 1999, from a closed down lab where I worked. Made in USA, used for prototyping metals prior to engraving, chemical etching, coating, printing of SS, silver, copper, brass, bronze, gold alloy, gold-clad, titanium. My unit has digital settings for frequency and power: 36 kHz-100 kHz, 100 watts - 1000 watts. I tried many frequencies and power levels. It even does programmable frequency sweep cleaning. 

So your ASSUMPTIONS about my unit are way off base! And BTW, US cleaning is far less effective on soft materials than on metals. So you can keep your assumptions to yourselves. You don’t have the expertise to be making the bad judgements that you’re casting out here.

I found a nail in the bottom of my shoe this morning
