VPI 16.5 purchased 25 years ago. It’s still grinding out clean records. Purchased for $450. There’s nothing like it. 

I co-sign mahler123 & dentdog. I’m very serious about the cleanliness of my grooves. You may not notice surface noise but I do. 

I use my Record Doctor mostly on new records and new used records. Once they are cleaned I use a carbon fiber brush.
