Can I clean my records manually?

Audiofeil, I doubt you can guarantee that your records are just as clean. What would you use as proof?

All that I can say without further proof is that I found the records cleaned with the Loricraft were freer of pops and clicks and had greater resolution than those cleaned with the VPI.

I have also owned Nitty Gritty, several models of the VPI, and long ago a Keith Monks machine.

It all well and good to save money and to be satisfied with your cleaning methods, but stop the nonsense of saying you will guarantee it is as good as any record cleaning machine. In my experience, this is just not so nor will I guarantee that that I can prove to you that my records are cleaner. They just sound cleaner.

No nonsense; just as clean.
Thank you.

Actually TBG I was incorrect in my previous post. My records are cleaner than those processed on a Monks or Loricraft. I guarantee it. They are, however, nice machines.
Thanks again.

As I said before, I don't think your statements can be proven, and I very much doubt if they are true. But since this is a forum of opinions and Pawlowski6132 seems to want to believe you, there is nothing more that needs to be said.

Thanks for contributing to the discussion.

TBG, what is it about the machines that enables them to clean better? Better vacuum, better scrubbing or appication? What could the science be behind your intuition?
