Spin-Clean Record Washer MKII Deluxe Kit - Offering Five Extra Drying Cloths, Extra 32oz. Fluid & Extra Brushes Compared to Standard"Complete" Kit

I bought the Disc Cleaner as well as the Hudson gel stylus cleaner, and I'm very pleased with the results. My vinyl records are in excellent condition and appear to be brand new. They also sound fantastic, which is the most important factor. With this combination, I'm rediscovering vinyl for the first time. Vocals and instruments now sound more alive, vibrant, and'real. ' My Rega deck has never sounded better (and they don't recommend this kind of cleaning!). huh? )br>At first, I was skeptical (but encouraged by the Amazon reviews), because audio is usually overpriced and gimmicky, but I am now a convert. br>Old scratchy records, on the other hand, still sound scratchy, but the improved sound quality compensates for it, and the scratches are less noticeable. LPs that are still in good shape now sound AMAZING! The fidelity of each recording is noticeably different! br>I was taken aback by the quality. The difference in audio fidelity and response is astounding. I'm now convinced that LPs CAN sound superior to CDs! It's a lot of fun to use the Disc Cleaner. It's also quite straightforward. br>It WILL NOT harm the label on your record! (This was raised by a few reviewers)br>Even if the label gets wet, the fluid easily wipes away and leaves no trace. br>Once the cleaning process (3x clockwise, then the same anti-static cloth) was completed, I found the cloths provided with the unit to be perfectly adequate in removing the fluid from the LP. The clockwise rotation has come to an end. I will say, however, that wiping the LP dry in ONE direction has proven to be beneficial. Here's how I do it: br>Begin by laying one of the cloths flat on a firm surface to serve as a base for the procedure. This will absorb a lot of the extra fluid as well. br>Trim the other cloth to a third of its original width, then fold it in half. Wipe the vinyl SLOWLY in a clockwise direction (I prefer to a) until it is the size of one side's playing surface. 'Scrub' it, but not too much. Much of the liquid will be removed from the disc by moving slowly and steadily. Then, using a soft cloth, wipe the residue away once more. The droplets will vanish, and the record will revert to its original state. br>The reason I fold the cloth this way is that I'll be wiping the record with the opposite DRY side now. br>Turn the record over. While the other cloth is drying, it will have a mottled appearance. This wipes off easily with the now slightly damp side to look exactly like the first side, and you can finish the record with the dry side once more. done! br>After a few cleanings, you'll notice that the 'wiping' cloth becomes quite damp. This is why I fold it so that you can simply switch to a dryer side for more cleanings. One cloth can be used for at least a dozen cleanings if you use this technique. br>You can also use the cloth on the reverse side, which you can simply turn over when it becomes saturated with cleaner. REMOVE THE PADS FROM THE UNIT WHEN YOU ARE DONE. They will lose their effectiveness if they are left in the solution. Really, it's just common sense. Squeeze them firmly together as soon as you remove them to get the most cleaning out of them. Rinse them under warm water and squeeze them again to remove the water, then pat them dry with a cloth. br>I also rinse the rollers because they have a soft rubbery part in the middle. I don't know how the cleaning solution will affect it, so I rinse them anyway. br>After that, I thoroughly rinse the cloths in a CLEAN soapy solution and tumble dry them. When it comes to vinyl, you can never be too careful! br>When it's time to clean the pads again, I wet them with the same solution because any dirt residue is now at the bottom of the tank and won't contaminate the pads or the records to be cleaned. br>In the tank, I noticed that some LPs were surprisingly difficult to spin. I'm guessing it's just grit and dirt, and I discovered that STEADY and firm handling did the trick, and it was turning quite easily within two revolutions. In the opposite direction, it's the same. Of course, some LPs are dirtier than others, and I discovered that a few of them improved after 5 or 6 turns in each direction (two cleanings?). ) but after cleaning, they all looked and sounded much better. br>I believe the Hudson stylus cleaner was also very helpful, and I would strongly advise including it in your package. I'm blown away by how much of a difference these two items have made, and I'm willing to say it's well worth the money. I'm not sure if a cleaner costing nearly a thousand dollars would be any better, but for this price, these two cleaners have provided excellent value. My vinyl collection has been rediscovered! That's all I have to say on the subject. Good luck with your spin! (Did I say - I'm a nerd?) You must manually turn the record, but this is not a problem if you apply consistent pressure and are sensitive to its resistance. ).

The cleaning solution encases the dirt and debris from the record, causing it to sink to the basin's bottom. br>br>You'll notice how "schmelly" your priceless records have become very quickly. Anyone who wants to get the most out of their records and hi-fi equipment should invest in this system. The system of fi. br>br>I purchased the deluxe edition, but I'm not sure you'll use it. Three capfuls of solution are required for the MKII 4 ounce bottle, while the MKII (or MKIII) 32 ounce bottle with the deluxe kit only requires one capful mixed with distilled water. So even the 4 oz bottle will last a long time, and the cleaning cloths that come with it are excellent. Washing them first to fluff them up for maximum absorption is recommended by Spin Clean. Even though I didn't, they worked perfectly. br>br>Keep in mind that this kit will not magically repair your scratched or abused records. So please don't be a jerk and write some nonsense review about how Spin Clean stinks because it didn't fix your irreparably damaged vinyl. br>br>What it really gives you is peace of mind, knowing that you're not contaminating your expensive cartridge with other people's schmegma and finger oils. It's great to know you're listening to a nice, clean record on your system. br>br>Kit is extremely easy to set up and use right away, and it is very potato-friendly. head. br>br>I strongly suggest this kit, and you'll be glad you bought it.

I don't review a lot of things. However, I felt compelled to write one about the Spin Clean because I was skeptical of it after reading some negative reviews, so I decided to compile a list of the Spin Clean's advantages and disadvantages after using it.
Cons: After using the Spin Clean, I didn't notice any significant changes in the sound quality of my older albums.
B. If you don't change the towels after 10 album cleanings, they will quickly collect lint and deposit it on the album. (I had already washed them. ) There will be no problem if you change your towels. Advantages: br>br> While I didn't notice a significant difference in sound quality, the album's sound did improve slightly. I should point out that I have a lot of original David Bowie and Bob Dylan records that I keep in mint condition, so the cleaning wouldn't have made much of a difference in the first place. Note: Scuff marks (light ones) accumulate over the course of an album's life as a result of removing and replacing it in the inner sleeve. There isn't much anyone can do about it. That hiss (on my albums) is almost non-existent.
B. The formula needs to be improved because, contrary to what other reviews claim, I did not notice any residue on the albums after cleaning. I should point out that I strictly followed the product's instructions.
C. The albums are absolutely stunning. Listening to "Lets Dance" (on a portable audio player) AT- Applied Technology Now I'm using the LP 120 USB, and it's great! Note. I'm not trying to sell you anything, but I believe it's only fair that I tell you what I'm listening to.
D. Finally, the way this product cleaned three "troubled" albums I own (Cheap Trick's "Next Position Please" and The Go-Betweens' "The Go-Betweens") made me feel it deserved five stars. About three months ago, I purchased Go's "Talk Show" on Ebay. The Go- The song "Head over Heels" from Go's "Talk Show" had about ten skips, with two other tracks having smaller skips. On the song "Boderline," from Cheap Trick's "Next Position," there were skips. I've been told that the cleaners used by some of these record stores can leave a residue in the grooves of the album, causing skips. I tried a few other cleaners, and they fixed a few skips on the Go-Pro. The Cheap Trick skip was not touched on Go's album. The Spin Cleaner isn't cheap, but I figured "what the hell" and gave it a shot because I love my vinyl collection. Following the cleanings, the albums in question looked fantastic and, more importantly, played flawlessly. That was difficult for me to believe as well. So I put it to the ultimate test by cleaning a 180 gram David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" record that I had ordered. (I am, in fact, purchasing the 180 reprint. ) Bowie's albums have been released in a number of different ways. As many people who purchased this album can attest, the song "Star" (Side 2 song 2) was skipped several times. I returned two more, but the third one still skipped over the song "Star. " " I assumed it was simply a flaw in the rewrite. " No other songs were skipped during the recording of the song, so the album was simply accepted. On the album, I used a manual cleaner (brush and fluid) to remove a few skips. After that, I used Spin Cleaner, and the song now plays without skipping. BINGO! It's a perfect five-star rating! As for me, I'm not interested. br>br>I stored the records in an anti-static bag. After cleaning, the inner sleeves have become static, and I am currently playing them (even as I write this review). The records have been playing great so far! br>This review is based on my personal experience with the product. I'm only able to use that as a source. I can only say that this purchase has exceeded my expectations!.
