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?

Totally. I have had my 16.5 for 24 years (and I listen a lot)and feel record vacuums are the best long term investment. My vinyl is in great condition because of my VPI 16.5. I use RRL Super Vinly Wash which works very well for me too.
A record washer is a must have if your gonna spin records. However I think the extra money for a 16.5 isn't worth it and is unecesary.

Buy a nitty gritty and turn them buy hand and save some bucks to buy more records
