@whart IPA and water? That's a new one! 🍻😂
A GOOD dry record cleaning device
I have tried several “on turntable platter” dry” cleaning brushes. I currently wash my albums (wet clean) with a Spin Clean wash manual system before they are ever played. I currently use Audio Quests’ new Carbon fiber brush first and then a Big Fudge cleaner with their cleaning solution afterwards before the stylus drops onto vinyl. (Yes I clean the stylus too). I am not sold the Big Fudge is cleaning the grooves well enough…
Can y’all give me your thoughts and suggestions please for a better cleaner?

@jasonbourne71 Sounds like the roller I used to get lint on my suit. Put it under the tap and the lint washed right off.

@j-wall -Isopropyl Alcohol, not India Pale Ale. Not that I'm advocating its use in the context but it is not an uncommon approach. Acronyms are dangerous, aren't they?

@larryincmh +1 I have done exactly the same thing for decades. This brush actually pics up dust off the record. Single most cost effective brush out there. Can't believe this has not been resurrected. |
@corelli I would agree. Very simple and effective. I do also use a very basic ultrasonic cleaner ($200 on Amazon) to get rid of major crud on new purchases I make (of older albums I buy very few new reissues) but then use my Discwasher/Zerostat process from then on. I looked at a review of the Big Fudge brush @3607 says he has, it seems like it does a good job and he might already have a more than adequate solution. |
