Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It!

Soko, Fiber brush cannot hope to remove grunge imbedded in the grooves.  Even a pristine-looking LP will yield "dirt" when properly cleaned.  Your brush is unlikely to get below the lands, and if it does, only minimally. And please describe how a fiber brush removes dirt "magnetically".  That's a new one on me. This is coming from someone who is not at all fanatical about LP cleaning, but it's just a fact of vinyl life.  Yes, in some cases, you won't hear much difference between unwashed and post-wash.  In other cases, you definitely will.

Soko, do you really think your N=2 experiment with the vpi RCM proves anything at all?
even mint condition used LPs can have a lot of dirt and dust on them, which can be efficiently removed by a good RCM. If I ever doubt that fact, all I need to do is look at the effluent from my VPIHW 17 RCM. It’s filthy.

Tablejockey, I’m sure the Kirmuss does a fine job, but do you really give it high marks for”ease of use”? Just from watching the demonstration videos available on YouTube, it looks like an exercise in anal retentive behavior.
