Looking for advise and recommendations on a nice record cleaner.

has OP told us his budget?

I manually scrub the heck out of dirty LPs, it's amazing how quiet and wonderful an old LP I have played a million times since the 60's can sound. New shape stylus goes deeper in the grooves, so get them clean!!!!!

Batches of 10 while listening, dead center, great imaging, very enjoyable.

my mix: cleaning fluid they give you, juice it up with extra alcohol, add a few drops of JetDry dishwasher rinse stuff.

plastic picnic table cloth from Party Store, doubled on top of .....

Cover paper label with top of plastic soup container from Chinese Take Out

Spritz with manual spray dispenser.

Scrub vigorously, deep into the grooves, with baby scalp brush from Amazon

Spin gizmo for rinse only, distilled water from CVS (it's there, they might tell you they don't have any, but it's there).

Pre-Dry with cloth (while dripping excess water back into the tank).

In the drying rack, fits 10.

Put on the next LP.

Well, however we do it, we all seem to agree that clean vinyl is better than dirty vinyl!

@jlangloi please, what is your process? I like the product from the video I have just watched.

@pindac I have yet to see  scanning electron microscope pictures of records cleaned by various methods. It is all assumption, all of it. Some is actually mythology. IMHO the best cleaning method is the one that is most convenient, fast and uses vacuum drying.  Others feel differently and that is why Howard Johnson's made 28 flavors.

Nonsense. It's easy to play a dirty record, clean it, and then play it again but in proper condition. You could literally count the reduction of ticks and pops. There's no question that a clean LP sounds better than a dirty one. The cleaner, the better.
