WTB Record Cleaning Machine

Recommended Posts

I have had 3 different VPI models and would recommend them heres some real user reviews of the project and VPI links, VPI wins hands down, I have read other bad reports on the project on other sites (the site names escape me currently)  I have bought all used VPI and never an issue 

 

Heres a link to the newest vpi 16.5 for a decent $$$ although they do pop u cheaper if you are vigilant

I have a VPI HW-16.5 I have not used in several years since I bought a Kieth Monk.  Have not thought about selling but would.  I  have the original box.  I added a reversing platter motor and switch to give better cleaning of the LP, flip switch and it cleans in opposite direction.

$600 including shipping in continental USA.

Groove Clean is another ultrasonic cavitation-based machine, like the Audiodesk Systeme VinylCleaner Pro that Stereophile wrote about and I just posted about in another thread.  The ultrasonic cavitation cleaners are supposed to be very good, according to some.  Here is a Youtube segment on the Groove Clean:

 

The Audio Desk looks much easier to use, but does only one record at a time:

I bought the Groove Clean without the ultrasonic cleaner as the cleaner is available on Amazon for less money. So far, it works very well.

holds 4 albums at a time. 

 

 

What solution do you use in there to clean?

 

Do you run it through US first?

Yes it is a great deal. I ended up ordering a Okki Nokki at a decent discount which also included a dust cover. Brand new from an authorized dealer so full warranty. It's in my hall still boxed up so I haven't tried it yet. I am so busy being sound man/roadie for my daughter it's just crazy. She's doing 3-5 shows a week now. 

 

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I sincerely appreciate it.
