Record Cleaning Advice

[SquireC]

Hi All,

Just to let you know, as I can't make "The Right One" myself any longer, I have been looking for someone who I can trust to make it to the proper formula and with the correct precision, which is really important for it to work at maximum efficiency. I have decided that the best person for the job is David Brooks at MCRU. I will be organising licensing the formula to him shortly and the fluid will be available, I will also be discussing my well received cartridge mounting kits and some new products I have been working on for some time. So watch this space folks.

Excellent news Paul. I hope it's not too long to wait, I've not got much TRO left.

TRO?

I find a L'Art du Son leaves a residue. Even after multiple rinses in pure water. I can see that using detergent appeals when getting rid of muck but it's no good if you leave a film behind on the groove. To me the way it foams up is a worry, not a comfort.

Yeah, it's practically useless without vacuuming the muck immediately after you finish the wash. Air drying is never good, because not only is the residue left on the record, but the dust particles suspended in the air get into the grooves. So it's basically a waste of time.

Two things I've learned about cleaning records. One is use a fine brush. Something with carbon fiber bristles, or like those felt pads on the MoFi brushes. Record grooves are quite small. Two is, it's not so much the hard scrubbing as it is letting it set for a few minutes. Just let it spin, use the brush to flatten it out, give the fluid time to work before vacuuming it up. Yes some will require hard scrubbing, most do not.

Quite correct.

After only 20 record cleans.... it looks like I will have a revitalised record collection and enjoying the sound of silence. Learning as I go along. This Pro-Ject VC-S is basic but god does it work.

Happy days, listening to music that was unplayable before the treatment.

That's good news Peter.
Give me a shout if you need some more TRO fluid.

Glad to hear that too.

What brushes are you using to wet clean your vinyl?

[Boyse6748]

The goats hair brush supplied with the Pro-Ject VC-S. Work very well indeed.

Been using a wet goat myself.

@struth

Is that like the sheep and the comfortable pair of wellies?
