![]() Presoak the MoFi brush with distilled water as this keeps it from soaking up all your RDV fluid when you first start cleaning.Įnjoy your new RDV as I think it has been one of my best investments in this hobby.Finally got the Disc Doctor's cleaning kit in today - brushes, pads and 16oz of the Miracle Record Cleaner. It is not expensive and really stabilizes the RDV platter over the tiny bearing that comes with the unit.Ģ. Go to and buy their larger platter bearing. The only change I may may make is to add a final distilled water rinse to see if this lowers the groove noise.ġ. I have even cleared skips with this cleaning method. My LP's come out spotless and very quiet. It takes a little more time and work but I found using this combo gives better results then either cleaning device alone. Zap the LP several times with a vintage red Zerostat and place in a fresh MoFi inner sleeve. I have never had any problem completely drying the LP using the amount of fluid I apply.Ħ. Vacuum off the RDV fluid spinning the LP several times in both directions. I apply a line of the RDV fluid from runout to leadin groove and spread/ scrub the LP in both directions.ĥ. Do a second cleaning and vacuum with the RDV using the provided fluid and a MoFi brush. Remove from the SC and do a quick wipe with a lintless microfiber clothe to remove the bulk fluid.Ĥ. I spin the LP several times in both directions and for used vinyl I will sometimes let it soak a few minutes to loosen the crud.Ģ. Preclean the LP using the Spin Clean with the provided fluid and distilled water. I have a Spin Clean and Record Doctor V and use both together.ġ. All of that falls into the mixture, where it rubs against your records. The little black rollers that the records touch, over time they break down, and/or are wearing down bits of the record edge itself. I watched a YT video a while back, on the SC. Agree that the platter itself is a bit too flimsy, unless using 180g records. ![]() I use the brushes that came with it at times, but recently bought a nice new RD brush that is actually made by Pangea. I never keep the plug in my machine, and I don't think I ever get any moisture to come out of the bottom. Don't forget the brushes whatever you use soak up some of the cleaner too (I usually only do 1-2 records at a time). It's not soaked, but I can't imagine a few drops of fluid to be anywhere near enough. Two rows of it (per manual) and then I keep a separate bottle where I mist the entire record. I use a fair amount of the RDV fluid with my machine. I actually have 2 spin Clean units, so I could potentially use the second one as the final rinse step. ![]() It seems, thinking it all through, that it would be, as you say, a "best of both worlds" situation. I think that the Spin Clean/Record Doctor V combo will be the first thing I try when my RD V arrives. I have tired the Vinyl Vac as a post-Spin Clean addition however, this requires the record to be placed on a surface and the Vinyl Vac (while a decent product) has the potential to slip from your hands (I have actually seriously scratched some records due to this.). Ya - I have always actually liked the Spin Clean.mostly because (a) the brushes do really reach in the grooves (the fact that you can see what comes out of the record in real time is a big plus - proves that it does indeed work!), and (b) that both sides are cleaned at the same time! I always feel like any manual brushing of records during the cleaning process could be adding containments that result in noise. ![]()
