Perfect Vinyl Forever


I have quite a few LPs that I would like to clean better than with my manual technique.  It is not cost effective for me to buy an Ultrasonic device.  Any experience that can be shared with the mail in service, "PERFECT VINYL FOREVER"?

Years ago back in the 70s ,there was a product than claimed you spray this on the record and let it dry and your records are protected for Life.I bought it about $8 bucks a bottle. I must of bought 5 bottles .Did it work ,i don't remember plus i sold those albums off ,like 8 years ago.

This Topic "Was the straw that broke my back" I was compelled to respond. I suggest that you view my submission titled as: The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"

Well, I received my sixteen records back from "Perfect Vinyl Forever" and overall I am happy with the results.I requested the 3.2 cleaning process, plus flattening for two records. The records were returned in about twelve days in new sleeves and each sleeve had a sticker that stated the cleaning process used (and flattening) and the date.So far, I have listened to half of the records, before I go out of town.

I was "blown away" by the sonic improvements...greatly increased dynamics, clearer vocals, larger soundstage and (overall) how quiet (between notes) the records sounded. I have never heard records with that degree of "quiet"! I kept thinking that I was listening to master tapes. Some caveats though are that I still was able to hear some occasional ticks, but greatly attenuated. Also, I realized that there was likely some groove damage (from the pressing?) that no amount of cleaning will correct.

The records that were flattened are quite flat!

I am looking forward listening to the remaining records when I return from my trip!

"For the record" ; ), my TT is an Acoustic Signature Hurricane, with a Kuzma 4point9 tonearm and a Hana Umami Red cartridge.

Unfortunately, this thread seems to have gone off the rails with many "responses" that have absolutely nothing to do with @jw944ts original question.

@grk 

Thank you for answering my simple question!  You are right about this thread....sad!

 

You are welcome @jw944ts and sad indeed! Reading comprehension seems to elude many on this site.
