What about Ultrasound cleaners for the OPs issue?
cleaning gritty surface noise on LPs
Back in the '70s I used a Disc Preener to clean my records. At times I, or perhaps a roommate, might have gotten the Disc Preener too moist, and the result has been a low-level, gritty surface noise on some of those old records that are otherwise in good shape.
I've tried cleaning them with various record cleaning solutions (mostly alcohol-based) with my Nitty Gritty RCM, and nothing has lessened this particular noise, even though they have worked fine with other LPs.
Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it?

ghdprentice, Better be careful, when my hair stylus found out about my cartridge stylist, all hell broke loose! 😁 |
I'm afraid you will not be able to fix these records. Cleaning, as you have already noted, does nothing. Somewhere down the line something happened to them, maybe played with a bad stylus. In a last ditch effort, incase somebody sprayed them with contact cement, you can spray them off with brake cleaning fluid. It will not damage the record, I have done it to prove a point. The best approach will be to buy new copies of the music you cherish. Ultrasonic cleaning is a fad and the process has extreme limitations. |
