Brian, I don't really know anything about the Loricraft. I have used the VPI 17 enough to know it is a better cleaner than the Sota, but what can you tell me about the Loricraft that you did not say in your post. Dollar for dollar how does it compare to the $1000 VPI?
Why so few record cleaners for sale?
It seems like a lot of people are getting out of the record game so I thought I would take a look for a record cleaner. There are some of the cheap ones for sale, but I thought there would be more. Do the people that have them use them, or are they collecting dust in the basement or garage???
Do people have CD cleaners too? I've never seen one, so I'm curious. Is there are market for a product like that?

How the $1795 Loricraft PRC3 compares with the $1000 VPI HW-17 is at least somewhat subjective. Does it do a better job? Based upon feedback from an HW-17 owner who loaned me three of his most valuable records to see how the Loricraft would do, it seems there is a nice improvement. Was it mind blowing? Perhaps not, but he heard improvements on each record. As a result he is considering a Loricraft. He has a fully loaded VPI TNT with ET arm, well isolated and fully tweaked and precisely leveled. Information on the Loricraft can be found at http://www.loricraft.com. Brian |
Try the KEV1 from KABUSA.com. A nitty gritty without the vacuum. You plug in your own home vacuum. First wash your record in a Knosti Discoantistat then dry them on the KEV1. The results are amazing. Your records are pristine, static free and stay that way with just a pre play wipe with a carbon fibre brush. The whole lot including the carbon brush is available for £100 (about $150). Ok so it is completely manual with no motorized assistance at all but when you are an impoverished vinyl lover you have to shop carefuly and make well judged compromises. |
