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

I've never tried the steam cleaning machines; MapleShade carries one but I cannot remember what it costs. I am pretty sure that they have an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee...

I use the VPI 16.5 and it seems to work pretty well. I'd go for that.... Check AudiogoN's for sale items as well as eBay, perhaps you can pick up one that is used...
