I finally bought a record cleaning machine $

I finally bought a RCM (VPI 16.5). While it most definitely makes for blacker backgrounds and removes a lot of the ticks and pops I seem to be picking up a lot of new noise that wasn't there before (a static sound). I am using Record Research Labs cleaner and (Deep cleaner on the really dirty stuff) followed by Last record preservative. I am trying not to run the vacum any more than I have to, as I read this can cause excessive static. My room is not overly dry or anything............... So what gives. Right now I am kinda bummed; I thought this was going to be the holy grail of those perfectly noise free records I have been dreaming about. Am I missing something? Do I have to spend more $$$ on one of those Zerostat guns?

Please help.

Chris

P.S. Sorry if this has already been discussed. I am lazy to search through the myriad of posts on RCM's right now.

Albert: I see no reason for you to have apologized. When I read "Plato's" posts, my first reaction was, "Geez, where were those sour grapes, Plato?"

It might have been an opportune time to lash out at you, using the Katrina disaster as an excuse.

That's my gut feeling about the matter. If I am wrong .... If Plato gets "set off" this easily, then I strongly reccommend some counciling for his greif, in which he can get help at either his local Red Cross or Catholic Charities.

Best wishes,
