Got a spin clean for Christmas and I have cleaned about a 100 records since then and oh man......what a difference. Reduced background noise is the biggest improvement. I knew my discs were dirty but to see the residual water after cleaning was very telling. Spin clean is a great entry level product to get you on the road to better sound.
Record cleaning
So I finally had the opportunity to fetch my system from my parents garage(1000 miles is a ways to lug a system as big as mine) now, I want to clean the records. From what I've read, isoproponal? Is the alcohol to use for vinyl as it won't attack the plasticizers, by l but I also have a large inherited connection of 78's that won't be played because I don't have a player for them, and I'm assuming they need different care.
Now, I would prefer to use something that I either 1) already have, eg. Simple green, 409, etc, or 2) something that is available locally easily(which is hard, living in a town of 10,000, and 2 hours away from an established city)
My system isn't very high quality, it's a system from Sears from the 80's, but I'm hoping that cleaning the vinyl will help increase the audio quality
