A clean record is a different issue as to how one protects the turntable against dust accumulation. I go to considerable lengths to clean my disks, but neither of my turntables has a lid. However, I have rather a lot of shaving brushes(!) and I have a 'Best Badger'—that I am uninterested in using for shaving—that I keep next to the blower brush. I use it to dust off the platter prior to a session, and on occasion to clean the tonearms, though rather carefully.
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
I"m using a spray 'advanced vinyl record cleaning solution' with a cleaning cloth.
It creates GUNK in the grooves which can be fixed by cleaning the needle 5-7 times during playing one side.. It gets into the grooves and fixes the problem. I'd rather find a better way to clean the discs. Sounds dumb, I know.
What am I doing wrong?
Please Help!!

Nonetheless, @mylogic , it makes an excellent brush for dusting off the platter! |
Hi dogberry, l do take your point for the usefulness of shaving products on the ‘platter’ but the thread was about cleaning vinyl originally. However a healthy clean platter will aid clean vinyl.
mmm, has now got me to thinking on the same lines for my decks…..Thanks for the heads up, l will try an electric toothbrush for cleaning my styli. No offence intended, just some light tracking banter! |
