currently I use separate disk doctor brushes with Audio Intelligent enzyme and super cleaning fluids to scrub the LP's. I then run the LP through a Spin Clean Record Washer and dry the disks with multiple micro-fibre cloths.
I like the idea of doing the clean with a cleaner fluid then doing a distilled water rinse, then vacuum with the machine. What is the best way to go ?
are the more expensive VPI models like the VPI HW-17I worth the extra coin ? I guess with the 16.5 you manually scrub your records versus it being automatic with the HW-17I ?
Wow, the Loricraft is quite the step up. http://www.smartdevicesinc.com/loricraft.html
Were you using the same cleaning fluid formula's for both machines when doing the comparo ? Is it just a matter of the loricraft vacuming off the solution better ?
In the VPI 16.5 price range, the OKKI NOKKI looks pretty good. I like the idea of a float in the waste tank that prevents overflows inside the machine, metal construction material.
