Loricraft vs. VPI 16.5 record cleaner


I currently own a VPI 16.5 record cleaner. I am considering purchasing the Loricraft because I read that it is much quieter and does a better job cleaning deep into the grove resulting in a quieter more resolving sound. I would appreciate if you would share your experiences with the Loricraft machine.
Thanks.......

Twl, I had a Keith Monks machine in the 80s and gave up on it because it was down so often. I then bought various other machines and ended up with the VPI16.5. I thought it was doing a good job for me. Then I got stuck in London because of 911 and went to the audio show. I learned of the Loricraft and bought one.

When I listened to albums cleaned with the VPI and then cleaned them with the Loricraft, they were clearly cleaner. It is fairly quiet but I still cannot listen while I clean.

Use with the new AudioTop Vinyl1 and Vinyl2 clearly improves the sound much further.
