Record Cleaner

There are a lot of cleaners on the market these days. Is there a consenus out there on what record cleaner does the best job?

Record washing does not seem to be an exact science sometimes a mint record is full of ticks and noise even after several washings. While others play great after after 1 wash. I have tried Nitty Gritty, VPI and UHF all good products but none yield consistant results.

Is there one that seems to give consistent results time after time?

Disc Doctor for me. I ordered both the RRL cleaners from Galen Carol and used them carefully according to Brian's instructions and no, they don't do nearly as good a job as DD.

Switching back (and switching to another new set of felt pads, vacuum tubes etc.). Another lesson in not changing things in audio when what you have works perfectly well!

tbg,

Sorry, just noticed this. I didn't mean to imply that nobody should ever compare products. But all of us audiophiles succumb to the "grass is greener" mentality, or upgrade-itis, or whatever you want to call it, when sometimes we should just be listening to music and enjoying it. Whenever I end up on one of these comparison deals - whether or not I end up switching - I'm paying more attention to equipment and accessories in the meantime.

"Perfectly well" in this case meant that I was enjoying my system and my music just fine at the point when I decided, on a whim, to compare RRL to DD.

Happy holidays.
