I use a VPI record cleaner and for the most part have been very happy with it. I recently bought a In The Groove (sticky) cleaner from Music Direct. My thought was to use when the record was not in need of an all out bath. It seemed to do the job well so I decided to experiment. I have some albums that just seem to have more surface noise than I care for no matter how clean the VPI could make them. I washed one of them in the VPI then rolled it with the In The Groove. This drastically reduced the noise much to my surprise. I've been using the disc doctor's "Miracle Record Cleaner" as the solution with the VPI. Makes me wonder if I'm using the wrong juice.
schticky to clean lp's
I noticed the sticky is being advertised in an analog magazine to clean your albums. It looks like the same roller on those annoying tv ads for "scticky. Would it leave a residue?
