Gruve Glide

I was wondering about the Gruv Glide's performance. I just bought Pink Floyd's WYWH on the Sony/Cbs Mastersound issue. The record has some loud pops. Just wondering which way to go for cleaning Disc Doctor and their brushes or Gruv Glide? Hey Scottht it has always worked for me, hear all that detail!

Yeah, I wish I could. My job has drug testing so I found long ago that my job was more important. Damn it!!

Colitas,

Wet clean and vacuum the record and then apply the Gruv Glide.

Scottht - proper puffing enhances the soundstage and bass details, actually every detail in the hearing range - especially late at night. Just don't make it a weekly habit, it'll cost more than a good piece of gear.

I'm surprised to read so many people use Gruv Glide. I thought the point was to get stuff _off_ the record before you played it, not add more. I'm interested and willing to learn here. Does Gruv Glide make a big difference over and beyond vacuum cleaning, and does it have any disadvantages ? For instance, does it make the record more likely to pick up dust ? Also, has anyone compared it to stylus treatments for effectiveness ?
