Review: Disc Doctor Miracle Record Cleaner Turntable
I fully agree with the review. I have used both RRL and DD and must say that my preference is DD. I feel DD cleans better since it has a better surfactant than RRL. With RRL the liquid just beads on the record surface. It has always worried me how...
