Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on?


The subject has come up about cleaning vinyl LPs and how expensive some of the effective LP cleaners are out there. Usually out of the monetary reach of the average vinyl player who still would like to listen to clean, quiet LPs on their turntables.

I was wondering, since many of the members here may own such equipment, whether there might be a chance to connect through Audiogon some of the owners of these cleaners who may be willing to offer their use, for a price of course, with the vinyl lovers in their particular area.

At least they could recoup some of the cost and at the same time help out others of like interests, namely enjoying listening to LPs with the least amount of pops and snaps..

What do you think? Would you owners of such equipment be interested such a service?

Jyprez I would be interest in purchasing that from you.
I have some ideas but need what you have to see is they will work.
Now to try to figure out how to but.

After I clean mine with steam I have them hanging in front of a fan to dry. They dry quickly. Just make sure you don't stir up any dust behind the fan. You can do a visual inspection when they dry.

As far as stylus cleaning, if the stylus gets a tiny fuzz ball on it it will effect the sound of course. Things can happen even with good cleaning practices. I will use the dry stylus brush occasionally.

As far as how often to clean, I'd say as long as the method you use doesn't cause undue wear itself it's up to you how often you want to clean them. Jyprez says he cleans his every time and that's his choice. I don't clean mine that often but that's just how I do it.. As far as coatings and such I don't like to add stuff that can possibly build up down inside the grooves. That's why I favor steam and ultrasonics for cleaning. And again, that's my choice.

Always keep in the back of your mind when you see a new product that in marketing, the number one rule is to create a need for your product. So many times manufacturers will turn a non-issue into a seemingly plausible theoretical solution to a 'problem' you didn't know you had, just to sell you their products.. Just try to maintain a little common sense as you navigate through the world of hype we're inundated with daily..
Oh, I used to teach sales, lol. I'm fully aware. I still use the advise of John at Audio Connection and a couple of other friends whom I trust. Most are still into vinyl, but their systems are out of my reach, lol.
I will post my ultrasonic cleaner on A'gon this weekend for sale with photos.
