Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm Chris.
After reading many threads and watching many YouTube vids, I've come to the conclusion that the below link seems to be both very effective and simple ...

- No RCM required.
- No vacuuming - what's left will evaporate
- No using the sink and running water.
- In fact no need for distilled water either (just the fluid).
- No risk of using anything home-brew.
What do you think?
I think, you'll improve the record, but it still wont measure up to the standard you'll reach with vacuuming off the excess fluids and dissolved grit.
Don't think it'll do any harm though...
And, i would prefer this method on an old turntable. It's a lot easier when the disc is turning by itself, or manually turned.
Theres often the argument of "i dont use a platter on a RCM as all the crud from the uncleaned side will infest the freshly cleaned siden on turning over".
Nahhh! The part of the disc that comes into contact with the occasional dust bug is not where the needle thrives.
Besides, just swipe the platter off with a moistured microfibre cloth or similar.

Not a very good method at all. In fact looking at some of the other 'cleaning' vids on utube there are an awful lot of people out there in denial about record cleaning.
All that method will do is move the crud around the record, the amount that will lift off with the brush will be minimal. Yes it will clean fingerprints and some surface dust away but these things make very little improvement to the sound since it is the debris in the grooves that causes clicks and pops and general background noise. I notice he doesn't give us a before and after listen to the record, unlike the bloke who uses a similar method but with window cleaning spray. (His record is improved but still unacceptably noisy after treatment).
To properly clean a record you need to suspend all the crud in solution and then vacuum it off. There is no more effective way of doing it apart from perhaps ultra sonic.

This is probably as good a place as any to publicly thank Ali tait for the tip-off about the phk rcm. Arrived today. Awesome. Maybe not a piece of furniture like a nitty-gritty but does the job at least as well as the moth I used before.
The big attraction, apart from the under $200 price tag, and fabulous customer service? It's so tiny. It just tucks out of sight in any cupboard. The moth is a big ugly lump to have in the house.
And combined with a Dyson hoover the record is dry in one revolution. Very impressed.

Very interesting Richard i may have to look into one. However having a big Record cleaning machine is all part of the Hi-Fi Enthusiast Equipment bragging Syndrome innit?
Timbo, since it's really good for removing (deeply-ingrained) ‘skidders' from adult nappies and/or puke stains from bibs and Baby-Gros [so I’m told], I’m surprised you don’t have one!
