You say you "spread it around ", regarding the fluid . I hope you are actually putting pressure on the brush so the fluid penetrates the grooves. I do a secondary rinse with distilled water and my records come out dead quiet (assuming no prior damage ) I use a VPI Cyclone .Try a little scrubbing.... Also, one rotation is all I need to dry, don't vacuum more than necessary...
Record Cleaner won't clean?? Or is it me?
Hello,
I have a MUSIC HALL WCS-2 record cleaner... and I can't for the life of me get it to actually clean my records... I am using Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab - Super Record Wash and my process is as follows:
I spin up the Music Hall with some vinyl.... I pour a nice dab of the Sound Lab Record Wash on it, use a Carbon Fiber Anti-Static Vinyl Brush to spread it around, for maybe 10 or so rotations, and then I turn on the vacuum of the Music Hall until it is nice and dry.
I put the record on my player, and I am rewarded with still a bunch of pops and dust and it's just a bit of a nuisance.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing a step in the process? Am I too much a perfectionist and I should just live with a bit of the dust?
How best to keep a 80% "Clean" record clean? So that I don't have to do this constantly?
Thank you!
R.
