Hey everyone, I am a younger audiophile and have recently just purchased my first analog rig (vinyl supplied from my relatives unused collections). I was just wondering a cheap way to clean records. I only purchased a Music Hall MMF-2, so I feel that something like a record cleaning machine would be ridiculous. Someone suggested windex and a paper towel, but I don't want to ruin my small record collection in hopes that one day a better turntable might come. Thanks for the help.
The Orbitrac is worth checking out also, especially for soiled records. If you get really serious you must have a real machine like a Nitty Gritty or VPI. The reduction in surface noise is remarkable. I also treat my newly cleaned records once with Gruv-Glide. Watch yourself - there's nothing like that vinyl sound!
Similar to both Sean & Jphilips. I use vpi & always gruv-glide. I've used the gruv-glide since 1983 on over 2000 records and always get excellent, consistant results. Hope this helps, happy listening! hififile
