Record cleaning - what's your method?

[ngower]

The MoFi was basically just distilled water anyway. I like the first rinse because it usually helps the cleaning step out but it's not totally necessarry. For new records I usually skip it but for used stuff it's a nice way to start from scratch

Anyone use anything other than distilled water as a first rinse? I was using some MoFi liquid that came in a bundle as my first step just to get the bulk of the dry debris off, before a AI6 clean and a final distilled water rinse. Now using the DW after running out of the MoFi. Is there any need to get a pre-clean/rinse of any kind? Using a VPI 16.5

I don't rinse anything. Just one application of christo with a vpi 16.5

I think like 80% of my cleaning backlog right now are 2 and 3LP editions. Everything should be single LP. Cram two hours on a side.

I don’t understand why I can’t hear the music on this record. I even added a step-up transformer to my mm cart and stage.
