I never had a problem with the record not being completely dry. But, a little touch up drying would be the easiest cure (apart from just ignoring a little bit of water. I have considered dampening the cleaned disc, as a final rinse and then drying it using my Nitty Gritty machine, but, that is way too much work for me.
Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner Pro - Drying Issue
Hello,
Can anyone who owns an Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner or the newer Pro version chime in with their experience on drying for me? I recently bought the pro version myself. The machine is supposed to clean and fully dry the record. I am finding that mine does not fully dry the record.
As concerned as I am about this, I am still impressed by the machine. However, I would like it to be doing all that it is designed to do. I have spoken to the service department about this issue. In fact, they replaced my machine with a new one in hopes that would solve the problem. It did not.
My machine dries the record mostly, but not fully. It leaves some minimal beads of water on the dead wax, the outer edge, and even on the grooves. The problem is, regardless of the small quantity of moisture left, it is moisture. If I put the record in the sleeve, the moisture is obvious, and it sticks to the sleeve.
I have resorted to running the drying cycle a 2nd time (only possible on the pro model) or using a clean anti static cloth (made for photographic film) to soak up some of the moisture during the drying cycle, making the cycle more likely to finish the job.
Has anyone experience this with their version of the same machine? What do you do to get the records perfectly dry?
thanks!
Mark
