Record Cleaner

Winegasman,

I used to clean records much the same way as you are now. I do think an RCM makes a huge difference with cleaning. You don't need to spend a lot of money on an RCM. I built one using an old Hoover vacuum motor, a lazy susan bracket and some plywood. About $50 and you could do it for less.

I use RRL always and I also use AIVS on the really dirty ones followed by RRL. If you're not using a vacuum RCM I don't think I would bother using either product because you're not getting everything off of the vinyl anyway.

Thanks for all your help the information has been quite helpful.

Merry Xmas fellow vinyl listeners

Another vote for RRL and Galen Carol.

Yes, the Loricraft noticably better cleans record done with the others, especially if you use AudioTop Vinyl1 cleaner.

Disc Doctor for me. I ordered both the RRL cleaners from Galen Carol and used them carefully according to Brian's instructions and no, they don't do nearly as good a job as DD.

Switching back (and switching to another new set of felt pads, vacuum tubes etc.). Another lesson in not changing things in audio when what you have works perfectly well!
