Another thing that can help clean records, although it does not sound like it should, is wood glue. Here are some links if you have the time to consider the idea:

I have my vinyl in storage, but when I bring them back out, this is a technique I will definitely try as well.

I always do the glue in my vinyls! Works like a charm.. ;)

On someones do magic with noise and clarity, but in others plane nothing, but it worth trying!
I take charge of the rest noises with the god-send Algorithmix Scratchfree plugin, with the lightly settings, obviously, cause' as John Peel said, 'Life is full of surface noises'.. :D

That sounds really strange to me... I prefer my RCM: http://www.hannl-vinylcleaner.com/en/?page=limited
For a perfectly clean record I equipped it a while ago with an circular rotating brush. This setup provides totally clean records wihout the risk to destroy it.

I clean record with water, detergent and a special brush, then I rinse it with mineral water, and dry it vertically.

Work fine, and it's very cheap...

Kel, I would highly suggest to take demineralized water for rinsing... The calcium in regular water can cause a lot clicks and ticks.

I would says and use demineralized water for rinsing, off course...:-o

You can't ruin the disc using wood-glue, it's made with the same component, vinyl, not epoxy or rare resins..

And yes, distilled water is the thing. Normal water has a lot of bad stuff inside...

And cotton, just pure white cotton do the work for me, try it. ;)
Maybe yo think that cotton left particles in the process.., but isn't true!! Just some fibers at the end that you can left out with a typical carbon fiber brush.
Use cotton for watering (or alcoholing), then circularly cleaning, then another bunch for drying (no need to dry waiting..). Then the anti-static carbon brush.

For more hard clean (typical greasy fingerprints..) you can use a little of isopropyl alcohol BEFORE the water (not only alcohol cause' maybe make some pop noises if not water putted out..).

You need only some drops of water or alcohol (spray bottle), and two or three fingers of cotton.., you can work in your room this way, no need to go kitchen.. heheh..

Well, and for the best just PVA glue (or a mixed job)! Make it brand new, noise-less and shiny! :)

ps: aksman: these machines are some pricey for poor third-world guys like me... ;)

ps 2: i've heared that the BBC always has maintained his vinyl library(past time i think..) using the PVA glue technique too.. :)

Thanks alot.

Thanks A; glad to see you ripping more jazz.

Keep up the good work,
Greg

@ bertox:

Do you demagnetize your clack vinyl? I asked a coupe of the most prolific and best rippers if they demag and they said it does make a difference for black vinyl. There is info on the futurtech website about vinyl demag. However, their demagnitizer is very expensive. One ripper I talked to (who is the most famous vinyl ripper) said he bought an industrial-level plate demagnetizer (which is big enough to demag a whole slab at a time) on ebay for $20 (twenty). The wand-type demagnetizers are not very effective (basically useless) regarding vinyl.

JUst curious: do you demag? If so, what is your method?

Thanks aksman,

thanks all.

Thanks again for the Monk.

I tried the wood glue method once. It does work, but you DO have to be very careful. Everything has to be just right - don't use too much or too little glue, let it dry the right amount of time, etc. If it doesn't peel off properly and you get little bits of glue stuck behind, then you've got a big problem. On the record I tried, the whole thing peeled off in one big piece, but there were a few little spots left behind near the last groove in the deadwax.... be careful.
I'm happy with my $300 Nitty Gritty. I'm also too impatient for the glue method. But any cleaning is better than no cleaning.

@ needledrop:

I don't know what you mean about magnetizing..

You mean static? For me, a carbon-fiber brush leaves out all the static.

I don't know other kind of magnetics on a vinyl instead of static.

Inlight me please.

@ superfuzz:

Well yeah.., you need to be very careful, like all the things you do. It's all about learning the way.

If some spots of glue remain on vinyl surface they go easily just with water and cotton.. ;)

It happens when you don't has diluted the glue with distilled water in the right amount:

When you put pure dense glue on vinyl it tends to cement stick on surface.

Anyway, the mix shouldn't be overdiluted too..., just the right amount. If overdiluted it don't dry ever and don't works the right way cause don't have the strength to peel all the dust inside the grooves.

Another thing is about some rare vinyls which are made from rare materials.., heard recycled? :O
Well.., maybe the glue tend to stick on them more than on the pure vinyl ones.., oh yeah..
These beasts are plenty of static too.. hehhe.. :D

ps: i've listened your 'Jazz Raga' rip.., and isn't exactly 'jazz', i must say.. :p
I expected another thing when you tagged it 'jazz'.., not plane 60's psych-rock, with some jazzy touches some times, yes, but..
Well, the first Jethro Tull got jazzy too, but nobody call it 'jazz'..

Greets.

@ Bertox, well, I never said that the Gabor "Jazz Raga" album was exactly jazz either. But on demonoid you have to pick a category, and I thought that was the best one.
I love it when people quibble over stuff they get for free.

Ah, ok. I never thought about that category picking question on Demonoid.., well, maybe i'll chosen the 'rock' tag better, despite of album name and some touches..

I didn't say that i doesn't like the Gabor rip too. In fact i like it. :)

Quibble?

Mine was just an opinion.., i give you it for free too.., but i can give you opinions for money either! hehe.. :p

Be good! ^-^

Beautiful Monk and Trane, thanks aksman!!
