OP, I too would be curious to hear the thoughts on the VC-E. While the Record Doctor suggested above probably can do the job, it requires two things that are not an issue for the VC-E. Those are the user has to manually turn the record and the other is that the record is vacuumed from underneath, requiring a wet record to sit on top of the machine facing down. Whether these are problems for the user is an individual choice, but the VC-E is IMO a more complete solution.
Anyone use/care to comment on the Pro-ject VC-E RCM?
As my small album collection grows I have been investigating different RCMs. I would love to get an ultra sonic but will save that for somewhere down the line. Right now I have a somewhat cumbersome washing regimen involving the basement sink, multiple towels, etc. It actually works fairly well but definitely need a better solution. Up pops this little unit at a good price with pretty much overall very positive reviews. I really like the fact that it is aluminum instead of wood. I have seen a few older wood models that are starting to come apart at the seams - literally.
Anyway, just looking for any user comments if possible. I think I will pop in to Music Direct later this week and pick one up.
Thanks
