Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas?


I'm thinking about taking the plunge and would love to hear owner experiences!

If you have dirty records or buy used records it will do the job nicely. If I were to buy a record cleaning machine it would be on my short list. However IMHO the best path to clean static free records is not to let them get dirty in the first place. All it takes is careful handling, a dust cover and a grounded sweep arm like this one  https://www.sleevecityusa.com/Antistatic-Record-Cleaning-Arm-p/tac-01.htm.
Very short money. Another important issue is you must not put records in paper sleeves. Paper is low on the triboelectric series. It loves to hold on to static. Get rice paper sleeves and switch to them when you open the record for the first time. Many of the better records have them already. If there is important info or art on the inner sleeve just save it in the cover next to the record.
