Frustrated with Vinly

I own a Loricraft and have used it for well over 3 decades.
Contrary to Chakster's claim that new records don' t require cleaning based entirely on his opinion they don't,...they most certainly benefit from and should be. The Loricraft like others easily shows in the waste jar just what was in the grooves of that "new" lp.
The poster who brought up working in a clean room I bet most certainly knows record pressing plants are far and away at the other end of the spectrum realistically. Apparently some here think they are , to feel cleaning isn't needed or the paper sleeves still used aren't an issue to worry about. Yet the forums are littered with complaints of new vinyl is noisy no matter how many times some read the guy who isn't complaining cleaned his first...and .... more importantly rinsed well.
You will never know how a record was handled when packaged after pressing....or how it was handled by previous user (s) if used ....
You only know how it is handled in your posession.
Besides the cost of the vinyl itself, we pay considerable sums for cartridges these days. Proactive it seems makes the few minutes cleaning new , or new to you vinyl and the visible crud suspended in the vacuumed cleaning fluid jar to me, beats opinion based on opinion...

Like it or not , looks are important to each individual owner and their own preference. As well and more importantly that the outdated unattractive looks many feel the new Technics tables are,
No matter how much an individual advocates the purchase of something he doesn't own himself....the simple fact remains many many do not find its sound that appealing at all. 
Regardless of what some may rant about the Technics as the best and be all end all of turntables and shade all belts as toys....it would appear many many prefer the sound of those belt drives. An important reason to chose your option.
Thats the beauty of choice, it's personal , no matter how some try to make theirs the right or best choice for everyone else...

Passing your biased opinions off as fact , doesnt make them facts. You insult owners..belittle anyones property that doesnt fit your idiotic direct drive biased drivel. There are many many good tables of all drives.
This is a hobby best made as inclusive...not exclusive based on perceived value. Which in reality Chakster..you dont have. Every choice has an opinion and a reason for and why....and it isnt because you say so or exclude them as owners of toys and all the other negative crap you spew constantly. The owner of the belt drive you negate brings a 100 times more than you do...its positivity and inclusivity...try it before your island is complete.....
And for the record...the only thing the cartridge can do...is what everything its attached right down to the floor allow it to do....funny , thats why some find those technics tables cold and digital like...but thats an opinion based on their ears and first hand experience....
How many of those NEW Technics tables do you own and for how long....oh...your just repeating what anyone else could read...then apply thick bias.....

"@jay73,. I for one really appreciate your last post (especially). You’re kind of rare in that while seeking advice and absorbing it, you’re willing to stay involved. I wish you all the best in your search."

I was thinking the same thing Slaw. It shouldn't  go unoticed or without kudos as rare as it is.....
