To all my Vinyl Spinning Brothers who kept encouraging me to get one of these cleaning machines I say a very Large THANK YOU. One of the best tweeks a vinyl lover can do.

I cleaned up a nice recording I have by Bread, you gotta love it when something just makes your jaw drop and you get the tingles. Next, Holst--The Planets, wow, amazing those little ticks, pops, are gone. Then the Also Sprach same thing. Okay, I am done with hand cleaning.

Another handy little device, the preener, does a fine job as a finishing touch.

Then I take a couple of touches with the zerodust on the stylus, and off to vinyl heaven.

    ;) Yep Bread, ah, the memories of Pink Chiffon and Arpege, holding something soft and curved, you get it. Yea, I like their tunes, simple stuff.

    I was into David Gates' stuff in what, about 1971 or so? Nice easy listening stuff.

    Funny you should mention it. I picked up the Best of Bread at Record Breakers the other day for $0.50. Then ran it through the VPI and have been enjoying it ever since.:)

    Congrats! Enjoy.

    Congrats! That is a wonderful piece of machinery. So manly and sexy yet babies the grooves while sucking out the grooves like a big shop vac...

    yea, the power of the vacuum is pretty suprising, sounds just like my garage vac, a couple of turns and the record surface is clean and dry.
