Is it true records are sealed to look better....


...and need a thorough proper cleaning even when new to sound best?

A vendor of ultrasonic record cleaning machines asserted this to me recently.  He also described a 45 minute process using an ultrasonic record cleaner to address it. Yikes! I clean my records manually now in just a few minutes and sounds clean when done. I thought an automatic record cleaner would save time and make things easier but not according to this particular expert.

New records don’t need to be cleaned. There’s no mould release nothing, never has been, never will. Just nonsense from the misinformed. Ultra sonic cleaners are snake oil.
