what to do before you get the vpi record cleaner?


I bought a Nottingham spacedeck and have nearly doubled my record collection to 800 in the last 2 months

problem is I am waiting to afford a VPI record cleaner

snap crackle and pop are having fun on my vinyl collection

I am using a decca (dry method) stylus brush
and stylast on the cartridge (with ultrasonic battery operated stylus cleaner)

any suggestions to clean records before I get the expensive cleaner? I don't want to engrain the dirty records (the flea market variety) by playing them and I don't want to destroy my expensive audiophile pressings (Japanese and MSFL)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks

You can also use the kitchen sink, or Disc Doctor stuff. They will do a good job while you are waiting. The only real big difference is the vacuum system for removing the fluid.
