We have threads on all of the really expensive and surely outstanding RCM's, so I thought starting a thread on one that kind of sits in the middle of the Klaudio, Audiodesk et al and the most basic, yet fairly effective Spin-Clean unit. No matter which RCM one owns, the important thing is that you take cleaning vinyl old and new as serious business.
To get my LP's as clean as possible I'm going to give them an initial manual cleaning with the Spin-Clean and then run them through the NG. I'm also going to try various solutions, including the NG solution and the MoFi Superwash that was recommended several times. I might even try my own solution of 75% distilled water, 25% Isopropyl Alcohol with a drop or 2 of Dawn (clear) dish soap. Since I hear that RCM's potentially add static to LP's I'll be investing in a ZeroStat shortly.
I need some information on Enzyme solutions and why I would need that. Also, where in the cleaning chain do I use it? Any help on this is greatly appreciated as I'm a bit confused as to its purpose.
I've also devised my own little method of identifying LP's that have been cleaned, and I use small removable round stickers in two colours (Yellow for a Spin-Clean wash and Red for a NG wash). I stick them on the top right corner of the back cover.
