This week I'm offering a triple headliner on the subject of record cleaning
– an important subject for several reasons.

A clean disc sounds better.
Vinyl's getting pricey, so it's an investment worth protecting.
Some vinyl is irreplaceable……..so, ditto.
It will help to prolong the life of your stylus – if only because you won't need to clean it so often & the chance of a costly slip will be greatly lessened.


First on the bill is a thread started by 'shahsy' which discusses manual cleaning & then moves on to machines (& back again).

As usual, comments relevant to the original post should go onto the thread rather than here.
Just cut the mouldy bits off, it'll be fine!


If anyone has suggestions for suitable threads, they should PM me.
