I have studied this big time. First the most important thing is you clean your records. I can hear the difference in Tergiclean, AI, Project, and a few others. With some processes out there they have no options for a rinse. Hopefully without tap water. I think you can do a great job with two spin doctors. One to clean and one to rinse. I will tell you with all of my research there is not one cleaning method or brand that is perfect. Typically because of cross contamination and over cleaning. Btw. The HuminGuru gets into this country without being UL certified is they classify it as a toy. I’m sure an object that holds water and plugs in does not need to be safe. Also, To truly remove the contaminants you would need a HEPA filter which would be clogged after the first record. This is why a separate rinse is so important. The only thing you want touching the record groove is the stylus. Every record needs at least one good cleaning.
Looking for advise and recommendations on a nice record cleaner.
Hello,
I have a McIntosh MT10 and a good size collection of records.
I noticed some of my records not sounding like they use to.
I was told that my records were dirty and to look into a good record cleaner.
I am now here for recommendations and where to look to solve my issue.

It may sound bad on paper, but it works fantastic in practice. It is amazing how clean an LP is after coming out of one of these machines.
I have the self-contained cln-lp200 model. It offers one-button convenience that makes record cleaning as simple as pie. |
@mijostyn Stated, "I am stuck following my own logic which I admit is based on assumptions." @hsounds stated, "I will tell you with all of my research there is not one cleaning method or brand that is perfect." Using the PAVCR Manual Method, the creation of this method for cleaning Vinyl is based on a very clear Text Book Direction. Assumptions on the methodology are not needed, just as assumptions are not needed when following any good recipe. The Author of the PAVCR has supported many inquiries made and in doing so has proved to be a great tutor in conjunction with the written direction. In relation to perfect cleaning methods, the PAVCR Manual Cleaning method, has superseded my other methods used and is one that will be very difficult to not use. The results have been thoroughly impressive. I describe the cleaned LP using the Manual Method as having been purified. |
@wfowenmd Right on Perfect Vinyl Forever is excellent and an affordable way to evaluate IF a person values US cleaning before making a deeper $€£¥ plunge. I bought two consecutive MoFi and ran one thru enzyme the Nitty Gritty, sent the other to PVF ( version 2 archival )… needless to say…i have a Degritter…now |
