I'm so glad I own this thing and can see for myself how great it is. I'd hate to be trying to sort through all the bullshit. (Which is why I wouldn't waste a second of my time on that video.)

I asked him, "Why don't you just take some new or used records that have surface noise and do a before and after?"
He replied, "I don't own any records that have surface noise because I take care of my stuff."
To his credit, he responds to questions, but that pretty much told me all I needed to know.

He’s running a review channel! Go to the the fucking record store and buy one old and one new record and just do a before and after test rather than emptying your fucking hoover on it

This is how birds clean themselves, so it must work.

I will say that channels like The Vinyl Attack give me a new appreciation for places like Audio Science Review. I may not always agree with them, but you can't fault the analysis.
I think the downside of YouTube, and the internet more widely, is that anyone can shit out an opinion with weak, or nonexistent, corroborative evidence and have it treated like fact. Random blokes like him really do muddy the waters and offer little of substance or value, I kinda wish the reviews weren’t linked so I didn’t have to interact

in unrelated news, I discovered today you can block entire channels!I think the downside of YouTube, and the internet more widely, is that anyone can shit out an opinion with weak, or nonexistent, corroborative evidence and have it treated like fact.

I’ll have to do that soon. I keep getting videos in my feed of random weirdos videoing theirs, and their friends systems, giving “reviews” because I’ve clicked on the odd review video people have posted on here…

Okay, enough TVA abuse. I'm off to clean my Disco Elysium 3LP, if I can figure out how to open it.

My only slight issue with it is that I wonder whether it's giving a few crackles (as well as improving the sound massively). I've seen elsewhere (SHF, I think) others saying that. Makes me think it would be better with a separate rinse but absent the second water tank there's no way I can be bothered with that.

That's impossible to store after having a few drinks

The records themselves were a tight fit. Sleeves might be too much to ask.
For the record, yes that LP is UNWASHED.
update: I am 100% storing the LPs outside of this amazing packaging.

Yea it will be interesting! I do still have my vacuum cleaner so could always do a wet rinse afterwards but not sure i can be bothered with that either haha. I tried to order an extra tank when I did the kickstarter but it just wouldn't let me check out with paypal for some reason. now theres no option for a separate tank on their site yet.
