Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM

Record Research Labs has some very good cleaning fluids. And VPI has some, as well, I believe.

How about VPI's fluid? I manually clean with Disc Dr. and like it. Good luck.

Garakawa, I was in the same boat as you once, having used Torumat for some time before running out. In the time since, I have tried virtually every commerically available fluid and a host of home brews. Another member here, Albert Porter, offered several folks free samples of RRL fluids to try, which is where I learned of it. I decided to order some and it has worked exceedingly well for me (I use a 16.5). I've tried lots of others since, but for the best combination of performance, application, failure to leave any sort of resiude or sonic impact, and peace of mind that it will do no harm to records, RRL fluids belong on the very top shelf.

Both Disc Doctor and Paul Frumkin's Audio Intelligent are working well here with a VPI HW-17 RCM.

For both, I apply the cleaning fluid to the Disc Doctor brush and use the VPI's fluid applicator for the distilled water rinse.

Audio Intelligent works quite well.
