Is it worth purchasing the VPI 16.5?


Having not had the opportunity to audition this product prior to purchasing I was wondering what people who have owned and used this record cleaning system over the years might have to say about it. Is it worth the investment?

By all means. Very well built, excellent job of cleaning records. Very reliable and little maintenace required.

In general, it's been my experience that having a vacuum based record cleaning machine is indispensible if you want to get the most from your vinyl. As such, in terms of funtionality, reliability, and performance, the HW-16.5 is an excellent value.
Nitty Gritty works very well and takes up a lot less space. The Keith Monk cleaner is the way to go if you can find one.
