In-the-Grove lp cleaner

Got one for Christmas. I think they are $20 or so. Far more effective than a brush. Consider it essential if you like dust free lps. Cheers.

The LP was not tacky to the touch and the residue was not easily visible by just looking at the LP. When I played it I noticed much more noise than usual. So I looked at the LP under bright light and you could then see the residue. It was so apparent that I could actually see the cleaning pattern I used when rolling the brush on the LP.

Not to take any chances with the stylus I thoroughly cleaned it (Magic Eraser and a light sanding) and inspected it with my loupe and it is fine. It wasn't worth my time to contact the manufacturer. It was $20 wasted IMO and just threw it out.
