Record cleaning - what's your method?

[Mrjay07]

So I've popped the Spin-Clean's Cherry tonight.
First impressions:
Not too shabby actually. Hear what you were all saying and gave each Old record a good 15 turns each side. I may have added about 25% more cleaning fluid to the brushes.
First OG on the TT was an OP of Rumours. It was good.
I could really here a difference on new records strangely. Radiohead Moon shape...sounds brilliant.
Have to put a shout out to the Better Half for buying me this. Very thoughtful.
Will use & abuse until the finds dictate a machine.

What makes the cleaning fluid (all kinds) make lines like this?

It’s just excess solution coming off the brush I think. Perfectly normal.

Damn, I wanted it to be extra dirty records!

Those are strands of vinyl DNA giving up the ghost.

I FINALLY got a shipping notice for my VPI!

Backed it. A bunch of us did when it was first posted.

Early enough to grab the early-bird special? Or did groups of 3 contribute to take advantage of that offer? First I’m seeing of this but looks like a great deal if it gets the job done. I know those suckers tend to be very expensive.

I got in on the Early Bird.

Sweet. Looks like the next best thing would be to get a group of 3 people together to reduce total cost.

It looks like $290 each if buying 3, or $296 each if buying 2. I might be down to split the 2 pack with you since we're both in SF and that would make things easier to divide once they ship them out.

oh yea, that would be rad.

Cool, will PM you in a bit

Seems too good to be true

 

[BazookaTooth]

backed this a couple of weeks back too

I thought of backing it, but early bird was $50 less than what retail will be. KS price w/out EB is only -$20.

Even at $50 less I'd rather wait to see how it does. $50 upcharge is worth it for me for others to be early adopters.

Also, the amount of distilled water per use seems like a lot (at least it's not more expensive cleaning solution)

But, really, if it gets good reviews I'll probably grab it down the line. I've been using an Okki Nokki for a few years and have no issues with it; but the more automated XP of the HumminGuru is appealing and even the full $350 is a fine price point.

If you don’t use the drying system there’s no reason you couldn’t reuse the water a few times. Or heck, use the dryer and pour the water through a Brita filter.

I don't mean to poo-poo this for anyone, but those combining forces should add this to their calculations, I'm pretty sure multiples would ship to one person. Maybe something to ask
