So, you never got that ultrasonic machine for Christmas? Fear not, there's plenty of helpful videos online for would-be LP collectors and cleaners, it must be something about audiophiles. Here's my new favorite, you know it helps to dress properly when cleaning vinyl too - consider it a gift:
tap water ? dish detergent ? wd40 ?
ReplyDeleteyou gotta be joking !!!
this guy should stick to 8 track cassettes
ReplyDeleteAnd you think that guys like this AREN'T on Discogs and Ebay? It's taking me a long time, but I only buy sealed for a reason -- when I see some of the junk being pushed as 'Mint' by online sellers I can easily believe what I've just seen...
ReplyDeleteTap water and Dawn detergent are excellent choices. Dawn is very mild. I know others who use it for cleaning delicate objects. If you have very hard water, I would use distilled water.
ReplyDeleteSince WD-40 is based on some kind of oil and there's oil left on the surface after treatment... not sure what would be long term effects on the record, but most importantly what it can do to the stylus.
