SPIN CLEAN Record Washing System, $79 ACCESSORY of YEAR "Spin Clean Record Cleaner is a pure manual design - nothing to plug in. A little elbow grease + fresh air do all the work.

Ambient air and a couple of swirls with the supplied lint-free cotton cloths do the rest. Results speak for themselves: clean surfaces mean less noise and more fully resolved music." ABSOLUTE SOUND EDITOR'S CHOICE "Meet my new best friend, Spin Clean. Operation is a breeze. Result is a disc that's suddenly as shiny black as new. Less noise, more clearly resolved music. On a prized disc that hadn't been cleaned in years, the difference was an overall reduction in noise - removal of most tiny snaps and cracks from the start to the end. It's pretty tough to beat. Not to mention avoiding the hidden costs like worn styli and further degradation of your prized LPs." ABSOLUTE SOUND EXCEPTIONAL VALUE, "Got the job done." STEREOPHILE RECOMMENDED SUMIKO . |
