Needles & Grooves

Yep. Someday I want one of those expensive record cleaning machines!

Yes, although slightly different. I don't spin until a clean same as you, but I've got a Squeaky Clean so I have to go one at a time. I've got a queue of about 10 right now waiting before I can spin. I've got a few records that have been waiting since May for a clean. It has definitely kept me from buying more until I break the backlog lol.

This is my dilemma…I should just clean older ones I haven’t cleaned but I have motivation

Yep, this is roughly how I do things as well. Typically I just do a cleaning session once a month, regardless of how many there are.

I have found for new records, a light cleaning with the AT6012 brush and a little bit of the solution, works wonders. That brush blows ever other product away on the market. Will never use a carbon fiber brush again, mostly due to the fibers shedding.

Check for warp. Clean. Spin. Repeat. Having a RCM makes it easy to only clean 1 or 2 at a time.

I wouldn't mind an RCM, but it seems like an item that isn't stowed easily.

@ranbalam the ultrasonic cleaner that was on Kickstarter seems easily stowed but we’ll see once it finally gets sent out! I have an older VPI now and that thing is clunky as hell but gets the job done.

Can’t wait for my humminguru to arrive

@Crabbers Wow, I just looked it up, it looks awesome...quite a price tag though.

I think it was around $400 or less if you were a backer?

It was… @folsom_lives and I each grabbed one to split shipping at it was under $400 indeed

Oh hell yeah, that is an awesome price. I'd do that!

You can get the "V" for $199 but it's a litte louder.
