What is the best way to clean Vinyl?

My budget is $500.

FYI

Just called Spin Clean and they seemed to think it's a drying issue.

Going to give it a try.  Says no air drying. Use the cloths that came with the system.

I've also got a mid 80's Denon 50 watt reciever. Not sure how relevant that is.

I've got good cables both speaker and rca's as well.

Also, what's the humminguru equivalent?

Thanks ghd!

I've got a Technics 1500C Turntable.

TIA

Wow! So many cleaners to choose from.  It's hard to know which one to use.

to choose that is....

My bro recommended this one.. any good?

I've probably got over 100 Older LPs.

What should I buy with a $500 limit? 

TIA

Also about 25 new which I've been using exclusively due to my fear of damaging the needle.

What should I do?

A question: Can playing dirty records ruin the needle/stylus? Or is it safe?

OK, Thanks.

LOL!

👍

I'm on board with the SpinClean, but what do I pair it with specifically?

TIA

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for their advice you've been very helpful.

I'm open to more suggestions.

Thanks dog!

That link is giving me a headache.

lol

TBS some of them definitely need work.

TIA

I should mention that almost all of my older LPs are close to pristine with very slight crackling. The same amount as some of my new LPs.

Will the Spin Clean be enough?

I currently am using a very old (mid 80's discwasher D4 System.  

Opinions?

What would be a good combination of Spin Clean, US. and vacuum machine for under $500?

Please help!

TIA

I see Spin Clean is a Stereophile Recommended Component.

What are some MIC budget  US's now available?

Thanks again.

I hate to be a pest, but I'd really like to get the right combo for cleaning LPs.

I have several used Classical recordings that are sublime, but need cleaning.

TIA

Yes tablejockey!

What would you pair with the humminguru?

I read on the Stereophile forum that the Spin Clean system can cause static on the vinyl.

True or False

Thanks Guys!

Will check the info out.

👍

Just got skipping on a brand new record.

Dirty needle?

:unsure:

Thanks cleeds!

Or is that all that is needed?

I've got a discwasher if that helps.

Does the spin clean and the humminguru seem like a good combination?

 Dog, do you mean the spin clean and the humminguru ? or just the humminguru?

TIA

Just ordered the Spin Clean deluxe.

Can anyone recommend a cheap US and/or Vacuum Cleaner?

Thanks Joe!

The spin clean is a stereophile recommended component.

And 2022 Absolute Sound editors choice awards.

So I feel safe trying it out.

Thanks again DB.

Wow! Lots of good info here!

Thanks!

I've got the Spin Clean.  How should I supplement?

TIA

Thanks guys!

👍

Hey, is it possible that the Spin Clean is causing static?

I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere, and it might be my experience.  I'm still testing it out though.

I"m debating whether or not to return the  Spin Clean and maybe getting the HG or something else.

I found this online:

Does Spin-Clean damage records?

I've cleaned about a thousand records with my Spin-Clean, and I haven't had a problem with any residue or greasy coating, but I DID have a problem with increased crackle that got better after a play or two. It was most noticeable on new records, as they are generally very quiet to begin with.

Anyone have a solution? People Rave about the Spin Clean. 

:unsure:

Still Snap Crackle Pops

:mad:

Which would be a decent drying machine (vacuum?) at a reasonable price to supplement?

👎

Ok...just opened a new record and  Spin Cleaned it.

Result? The same. No static or pops.

Anyone have an idea why this happens with lightly used vinyl?

Thanks

Thanks antinn!

I'm going to try something:

'Cleaning' a new unopened record and see what happens when I Spin 'Clean' it.

Will report back.

Thanks again!

I should mention that the stylus is fine when playing new vinyl.

So ,it's not the stylus.

FYI

Thanks antinn,

I cleaned the stylus and it seemed to help.  Not perfect, but better.

What is the next step?  US and/or Vacuum device?
