    Default Wanted Quality Record Cleaning Machine

    It seems that many set out to clean many records at once. Make an afternoon of it and wash a few dozen albums. I can see where the noise would get to you in that case, and listening to music while you do it would be near impossible to enjoy.

    But that’s not me, I choose an album, if it looks like it needs washing I wash it, and then play it. Put it in a vinyl sleeve and store it away, not to wash another until I pull one from the bin that needs washing. After a time when most of the ones on my frequent play list have been washed, I rarely use the machine anymore, until I pull out that old gem that hasn’t been played in a while, and of course new and used Records that I’ve bought recently. Noise be damned! I don’t care if it sounds like a jet engine! I just want my records clean.

    And by the way, my ProJect is not as loud as my old VPI was, but, it’s still kinda loud.

    Amen to that! I have a noisy vacuum machine but I only do 5 or 6 max at a time so I can easily put up with it, plus it is in my garage. I'm not sure it's any better at the job than my old Knosti manual but I find it quicker and less messy and my skin is not in shreds afterwards if I forget to put rubber gloves on. I use the rack from the Knosti just to let them thoroughly dry out though.

    I had a VPI 16.5 - again quite noisy but seemed to work ok. Recently bought a Loricraft PRC4 very quiet in comparison and works extremely well. Worth the spend if you have a large LP collection. Rare as hens teeth second hand though

    Rare second hand is an indication that people like them!
