cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use.

I'd start compiling notes because I will wager that someone will claim that their ShopVac is every bit as good as the Loricraft.

Has Paul appreciated the Loricraft vs. the ShopVac visa vis the price differential? HA! :-)

That would be a different kind of Loricraft thread!

Don't mention Visa cards, please. For the same $ we could have bought 71.8 more Shop Vacs and just lined them up. The damn records still wouldn't get dry, but we'd be deaf so who would know? <:~)

Trade you a Shop Vac for a Graham?

cracker? yes!

but, point taken

I have used both Record Research and my own homebrew with good results. The RR cleaner did seem to bead up more on the record compared to my cleaner which had less surface tension but both produced good results (with a good record vac). Given that I paid $25 for the RR stuff vs pennies for mine, I guess I will be making my own from now on.

I have only used Torumat. Never felt that I needed to try something else. Given the raves of RR- I will order to replace my now empty bottle. I think that Torumat though is well worth a try.
