Thank you for the very detailed explanation.
I will come back here and re-read it when get started with the process.
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.

@richardbrand There is no relationship between the specific electrical charge on the surface of a vinyl record and noise. As far as the diamond creating "static" as you people like to call it, last I heard diamonds are made of carbon which is the most conductive material known to man. Of course, at the contact patch there several thousand pounds of force per square inch combined with the velocity of that patch along with the spinning record generates enormous amounts of heat any charge generated by that action would be conducted through the stylus itself, up the cantilever to the metal cross and out through the coils to the preamp and then to ground. Superfluous! The interaction between the spinning record and the dustcover generates more charge while the record is playing and a resulting effect on VTF. "Static"? I just ignore it.

rbull1145 posts Vevor makes an Ultrasonic record cleaner you can get a little over $100 that works well. It cleans 4 to 8 albums at a time depending on which model is used. I purchased to clean about 150 albums and it worked well. I'll use it to re-clean the albums I use more. Thank you.The price sounds right. I will have to check it out. |
