    ...and I keep agreeing with Ali!

    These things are great, don't just make the records look shiny but improves the *quality* of the music coming off the record too.

    Uses your own Hoover, which is where cost savings come in....apart from that it's identical to the big boys.
    It's one of those "common sense" products that just work and work extremely well.

    I agree that they are a lot of money Andre. The other unfortunate thing, is that they rarely come up for sale second hand and when they do they seem to hold their value very well.

    If people are looking for an RCM and can invest £400 or so, then the Okki is a very good option.

    If they're as good as you say, then that really is a bargain

    They really are every bit as good as any other vacuum RCM IMHO.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    The spin clean Dave is sending will do me. I don't play LP's anymore just 12'' singles. They are much easier to clean than an LP anyway...

    from 200 quid for a Vacuum RCM total no brainer really & essential for any LP Buyer
    people spend thousands on cables when a RCM gives a instant sound upgrade and longer stylus lifespan
