I like the VPI machines. There are a few new ones on the market that look great--but let's face it, the 16.5 and the 17 have been out there a long time. They are robust and are just basic work horses which is what you need. I own a 16.5 and love it. I have friends that have the 17 and I do think the automation is kind of cool, but I don't think it does a better job of cleaning. As to solutions, I'm one of those--make my own. If you do a search on threads there are numerous discussions on make your own cleaner. There are some great ones out there, but if you are cleaning a large collection, then you may want to be economical and make your own as well.
Help me clean and restore my vinyl collection
Hello everyone. The time has come for me to start spinning my vinyl collection after a very long hiatus but I have some work cut out for me. I plan on cleaning and re-sleeving my entire collection (yikes!) and need some comments on what is the latest offerings out there as far as record rice paper sleeves, cleaning machines/solutions and vinyl jackets. I was brought up on vinyl but have been out of the loop for so long that I would appreciate to hear what products all you serious vinyl junkies are using. I have a Nitty Gritty (old, old original) but am looking at the new Loricraft. Anyone out there using one of these? Who has the best sleeves/prices? Who has the best performing solutions? Thanks!
