Spin Clean as good as RCM, ie-VPI etc?


I have been using a spin clean for a few hundred records and like it very much. Are the more expensive Record Clean Machines (RCM) VPI,Clearaudio,etc. capable of doing a better job of removing dirt and reducing noise?

For not too much more than SpinClean, you can get the KAB EV-1 record cleaner. You add your own canister vacuum, and you have a low-budget vacuum cleaning system that cleans as well as any entry level VPI or Nitty Gritty. It is fully manual - you apply the fluid, spread it, scrub the LP, and turn the LP while the vacuum does its thing. I've had mine for several years, and it is fantastic, even with garage-sale records, which I buy often. One of the biggest bargains in analog audio, IMHO.
