Since dust, dirt and grime will be perfectly reproduced by the Laser Turntable, cleaning your records before playing is very important.
Therefore, we highly recommend the record cleaners listed below.

VPI HW-16.5 Record Vacuum Cleaner |
|
 |
|
We have determined that VPI Industries Inc., USA, makes the highest quality analog disc vacuum cleaner.
Sprinkle 10 drops of the cleaner on one side of the disc, and spread it evenly with the brush so it emulsifies the fine dust that accumulates
from the shoulder to the bottom of the audio grooves. Then, using the vacuum nozzle attached to the cleaner, remove the liquid on the surface
of the disc without causing any damage. This method of cleaning not only allows you to enjoy improved sound reproduction but also prevents
mold from growing on the disc. |
