Vinyl Care


I just got a new turntable and cartridge after not having one for years.

I need a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive record cleaner.

I really never took proper care of my records,and would like some basic advice on how to keep them clean on a regular basis.

I also need some guidance on care and cleaning of my cartridge and stylus.My currant cartridge is a Rega exact.

Please know that I don't have a big collection of valuable records,just a bunch of old rock recordings amassed over the past 50 years.

I have started buying some new records,but only select prized albums that I have lost or have been worn out.

Thanks.

My LP collection is about 20 albums, all dating from the 70s or earlier.  I found it most effective to pay a guy who has an Ultrasound cleaner $5 bucks an album.  The effect has been noticeable.  Since US cleaning should only need to be done once, and since I don’t anticipate adding many additional LPs, this is cost effective.
