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.

If cleanes and drys a record in 5-7 minutes depending on how dirty it is. I can take a record cleaned by hand and play it and it still has noise. Run it through the ultrasonic and it plays like new. I am very pleased. It is slower than the VPI 16 if you’re cleaning lots of records but I just clean the next record in the cue and all is good. From what I understand from so called experts is for ultimate clean you need ultrasonic and the VPI
