    So how does Noel Edmunds sound after his clean and vac. Is he ruined?

    Test completed

    The liquid sucked up ok, although it needed several rotations to do it. More importantly there are no marks on the vinyl made by the rubber lips, so it seems unscathed which is a relief. There are no marks or blotches where the liquid has rested in the vinyl waiting to dry like when the anti stat is used. So I would call the Krazy Karcher Kleaning Kaper method a success and I will be applying for patents once I have conducted further trials on more "expendables"

    Pros

    Cheap (a KV2 coats about £48) even more so if you have one around the house anyway
    Pretty quiet, as compared to say a Moth or Okki Noki

    Cons

    A bit fiddly but no more than using the anti stat anyway
    Needs a more stable bearing, the MK 2 will have the precision bronze sintered bearing as mentioned earlier
    An unorthodox and ground breaking record cleaning method, possibly open to ridicule

    Album Review

    Seems to give good results , on playing, Noel Edmunds voice is as annoying as ever and you can visualise his face being hit when closing your eyes with real realism .

    Incredibly the Timbre of Clement Freud's oration on that classic track "Fish Fingers and Custard" seems to be even more realistic and "in the room" with the listener than usual.

    On further listening I gradually found myself getting sucked into the performances that were on display and I can tell you that I was blown away by the silence and inky blackness when Patrick Moore narrated "Mickie and the Mischievious Alarm Clock"

    Eager to test out some female vocals I skipped Jasper Carrots classic offering "Gary the Greatest" and forged ahead to listen to Hannah Gordon and her performance on "Mr Peabody's Squeak" , a track which I have always felt summed up the album and is also a highly technical and challenging piece of work. From the first breathe I knew somehow that this time it would be different. Previously I have felt that her performance sounded a bit muted, almost lacking an intangible "something" . It always had more to give.

    This time it was completely different, the complex rhythm's and structure of the story came across in spades highlighting her orchestral range and capability. As she progressed the grip on the emotional aspect of the story brought tears to my eyes , something that happens only on the rarest of occasions.

    The piece was written for a casual audience, however that belies it complexity and during the darker passages her voice becomes stark in it's loneliness and tone. A consummate performance!! I found myself so moved on it's completion that I had to giving a standing ovation in the best operatic tradition.

    I think that sums it up, thanks you for your consideration.

    Excellent write up Andy . I may just have to buy one of these Karcher machine to '' clean the windows '' . SWMBO will be very impressed ( if I clean the windows that is )

    Please tell me where I can buy this album of musical delectations . I may just have to add it to my collection ( based on your write up of course )

    Oh...and thank you for taking the time to introduce us to this wonderful piece of engineering . I look forward to the MK 2 version with bated breath

    Ive got a cheap version. From aldi or lidl. Cant remember now. Its very good at doing windows. Its probably too wide for records tbh. But if you blocked up one half it may be ok. If there is a part of the sucking slit thats not on the surface its inclined not to work well. Doesnt have the suction of a record cleaner either so might not suck up all the stuff, but might.

    Anyway i enjoyed the thread thouroughly...

    Alas I fear it has long been deleted, I managed to get my rare copy in a flea market in Marrakesh.

    Thank you , one advantage of the KV2 over cheaper models is that it has 2 different sized nozzles that come with it, we got all angles covered!

    I bet you bought it, walked away, turned around and the stall had vanished.

    Taking things out of context to try and score points is a childish thing to do Robert.
