Vinyl Care
I just got a new turntable and cartridge after not having one for years.
I need a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive record cleaner.
I really never took proper care of my records,and would like some basic advice on how to keep them clean on a regular basis.
I also need some guidance on care and cleaning of my cartridge and stylus.My currant cartridge is a Rega exact.
Please know that I don't have a big collection of valuable records,just a bunch of old rock recordings amassed over the past 50 years.
I have started buying some new records,but only select prized albums that I have lost or have been worn out.
Thanks.

Some great recommendations so far. I tried the RD, and found it lacking. |
tI think Music Direct may stock anti-static guns, maybe even the Zerostat. You might also look on eBay--there may be used ones there. Just make sure there's a return privilege in case it doesn't work. You can hear, feel and even smell (ions) when they do work. Also, they used to come with a little attachment with a small light that would light in response to pulling the trigger of a working gun. You can test static easily by taping a bit of styrofoam to a thread and watch if it is attracted to the vinyl. |
elliottbnewcombjrCool system,I love the beautiful bright room too. I have a question,I did not see did you give a link for that volume control device,I would love one of those. Another question,are you using more than one tone arm at the same time on the same record,if so why? Thanks |
