I tried the Spin Clean system that you referred to. Worked fine with getting gunk off; however, I found it a pain to dry the record properly without introducing some other type of contamination leading to noise. If you are willing to spend a little more and have a suitable home vacuum cleaner on hand, I find that the KAB EV-1 ($169) works extremely well. It is similar to the Nitty Gritty cleaning systems. When you are finished cleaning with this system, record is ready for playing or storing away.
Best record washer/cleaner, at an entry price
I have some old records from my dad that are in so so shape, I am nervous to use them on my new turntable and with my new cartridge. At what condition should you avoid records, if you do not mind a crackle or pop here and there. I just do not want to damage any aspect of my system.
I figure at least cleaning them will help. Do any of the basic entry level vinyl cleaning systems make a difference.
I see the new GrooveWasher coming out ( http://lnc.hr/JdpGR ), does anyone have an opinion on it? It looks really great, and I am interested in finding one.
I also have looked at the basic ones on other websites like spin clean ( http://www.spincleanrecordwasher.com )
Thanks!
