Suggestions for an effective record cleaning kit??


I have just purchased a new Rega turntable and have gotten back into analog. I need some advice about record cleaning accessories. I currently use a "spray on" cleaner called "Premier" which seem OK, but it is hard to judge if it is really doing the job. Several years ago, I bought a basic "Needle Doctor" record cleaning machine that in my opinion did very little to improve the sound of my LP's.. I have generally taken good care of my limited collection, but some are just old with varying degrees of pops, clicks and noise. I still have a copy of Cat Stevens "Tea for The Tillerman" purchased in 1972---it actually sounds decent. Thanks, Jim

Some of us (probably most of the regulars on this forum) would disagree about Disc Doctor. The enzyme based fluid systems from AIVS and Walker outclean DD by a wide margin, and are also far easier to rinse off without leaving a residue.

The DD brushes are pretty good though.
