Review on Vinyl Record Cleaner - Record Roller, Reusable & Liquid-Free - Ideal for Record Rescue & Cleaning by Elvis Kohl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

belt drive? Use the brush first.

If the belt is spinning your record, you should use a brush to get that dirt line and then use a roller on the dirt line. Also works for cleaning stains (strands of hair, bits of food, rare diamonds that can constantly spawn) when the disc is NOT spinning. It really stopped the ride on the Pro-ject TT with Music Hall Cruise Control 2.0. To make it spin easily enough for a belt driven TT with smaller motors, I started thinking about bearings for skateboards, inline skates, etc. Now the cost has risen sharply, and how will these bearings hold up to repeated stress? Tap water? The whole device is now larger and therefore more expensive to ship. So I returned to my satisfaction with the brush and roller technique. I took off one star for "ease of use" because the device has to be stored in the plastic case that came with it. This transparent plastic box can be made lighter without increasing the production cost. Movie recording 2.0? I would start with ideas for this case. Last note. I didn't feel comfortable making the general statement that the roller stops all platters on belt-drive turntables, as I haven't tested all belt-drive turntables. A sensible solution to this question is obvious. If the company behind this great product had shipped the VPI Titan to my home, I would have done the proper testing (for free) and come to the broader conclusion with confidence. Think about it. No rush.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Functionality
