I used the AI three step for many years with my VPI 16.5 and three separate vacuum arms. It worked really well. I cleaned all albums one time when they were acquired. It was a large commitment and the time involved was substantial with a rewarding outcome. I did get to a point that I would have a stack of albums not yet able to be played... Last January I bought a Degritter. It does an excellent job in cleaning the albums, but I truly love the fact that I place the album into the machine, start it and walk away. I return to lift the album out and place it into its new inner liner. The Degritter is set up in a room next to my audio room so I can have it run while I’m listening. I would never go back...
Bought the 3 step Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solution
So it works great. A 25% improvement over just L'Art Du Son. Maybe more.
Who has the time to do this though? I mean everyone right now.... but I can't imagine once work starts up doing this to every old record I buy and also going back and re-cleaning my collection. That's a big time commitment. Maybe that Degritter isn't such a bad investment after all?
