Record cleaning machine advise, want to buy,"HELP"


I have been looking at the various LP cleaning machines available, and need help picking one. My budget is around 500.00. What cleaning machine will do the best job? I do like the automatic designs. Thanks for any help, Rob

Congratulations, Ray! Now just add Disc Doctor brushes and fluid (or RRL) and you'll be in great shape.

Excellent suggestions Rushton. I think that you and i probably have very similar "cleaning procedures" given your comments. Sean

I have a VPI 16.5 and like it. Good cleaner, very sturdy and stable. I agree, it's nice to have a solid platter under the record should any good scrubbing be needed--and the motor is torquey (sp?) enough to take it, too.

It is noisy, unfortunately, and so are the Nittys. Someone above said they found the VPI ugly; I personally think it's elegance through simplicity. I don't care for the awkward Nitty look...to each his own, I say!
Ray, Were have you been? Your MIA, Your probobly doing the same thing as me, listenin to audio gear.... When will you get the VPI? let me know how you like it, Im waiting your feedback before I buy. Rob
