The Quietest LP Cleaning Machines


Which cleaning machine is the quietest of them all?

noise is directly related to the size of the vaccuum opening. therefore any Record Cleaner with a wide sweep vaccuum arm will sound to a large degree like a vaccuum cleaner.

the 'Keith Monks'....Loricraft...type record cleaners use a stylus vaccuum arm with a tiny vaccuum hole at the end of the stylus. a piece of thread is fed to the end of the same arm and the vaccuum point rests on the thread. every time you clean a record you advance the thread to use a new spot. in any case; this style of record cleaner is infinitly quieter since the vaccuum openning is much much smaller than the 'wide' arm type.

i have not compared different machines within this approach to say which is the quietist.
