I love Gruv Glide, but Albert does know of what he speaks. I feel it reduces friction very well, therefore groove wear is also reduced. It needs no post cleaning after application. It is of course paramount that you get a cleaning machine, either of the VPI's. I'm still trying to decide if there are better dust brushes (for VERY minor cleaning just before play). My AudioQuest carbon brush has put extremely faint scratches on a blank LP side, and that troubles me. Anyway, if you have LP's that are extremely dirty (30 year old fingerprints in the grooves, etc.), you can use diluted alcohol and a soft cloth, BEFORE the cleaning machine. Perhaps I'll take heat for that last one, but I'm not concerned about it in the least. Good luck, AND DO BUY THE CLASSIC RECORDS REISSUES, if at all possible...
Cleaning Vinyl
I have recently gotten back into vinyl. Questions regarding what type of cleaning and treatments for my abums would you suggest. I used to use the discwasher system and zerostat gun, have never tried the record cleaning machines... any suggestions? How about any type of album treatment solutions... gruv glide, etc. HELP!!!
