LP Cleaning Question

Sean,
I forgot to add how Gruv Glide is applied. Gruv Glide is an aerosol product that is sprayed onto a very unique feeling applicator pad (2 come in the kit). The applicator pad is placed face down onto the record which you manually spin on the platter. The Gruv Glide goes on dry. And believe me you can hear immediate improvement in the records sound.

Happy Holidays everyone. As reading this thread i was about to play a BS&Ts lp. So i decided to try something. I cleaned the album with a new sponge and common hand soap from a bar. I turned the water to warm in the bathtub and carefully cleaned the grooves in a pattern consistant with the rotation being careful to not get the inner lable wet. Than put the hairdryer on and shook off the excess beads of water, than wiped dry with a fine cotton cloth. Played the album within minutes and not a snap crackle or maybe a couple of faint pops...!! I don't listen to my CD anymore. The analog just makes me forget about the equipment and is better for my state of health. I just can't see spending hundreds of dollars on an exotic vacumm cleaning machine that is a hassle when some soap and warm water and sponge and a clean lent free cloth works great and only takes a couple of minutes and cost nothing. This is a good album, BS&T's. Let the spinning wheel spin......!! and show you the colors that are real...!! Happy 2002 you spinners -- Mike

Mikec, that is all well and good except for one thing. Once the album is back with the other software, and tells the other titles how warm and comfy your tub is, WATCH OUT.

You may come home and find the bathroom completely taken over, not even a place to wash your hands.
