Pro Ject VC S2 Record Cleaning Machine Review

Turned an unlistenable record into a near perfect record after cleaning. Doesn't eliminate scratches, but virtually eliminates pops, surface noise and static electricity.

Great product! I can't believe it took me this long to buy the RCM. It definitely cleans record surfaces well, giving my 40 year old records new life. It's gonna hurt me for a while kicking myself!

This imported device cleans old records very effectively. I'm not sure how good the cleaning solution that comes with it is, but it seems to work great for an alcohol-free product. On the negative side, the price seems high. I still recommend it over the competition.

I inherited many old vinyl records from my grandparents who passed away. Most of them were unplayable. Did some research and decided to buy this machine to get rid of it. Of course, scratches cannot be repaired, but they can be perfectly cleaned. Most of them can now be heard. Great car!

I was very skeptical about this and was completely enthusiastic. My brand new copy of Art Blakey's Moanin clicked. Brush with it for five minutes and it was absolutely still. Now I use it straight away on all my new albums with a standard unheated 15:1 mix and use a heated 20:1 mix on real used vinyl. For really heavy dirt the TM-8 works too, but I've only had a handful of albums that needed it. That's half the price of many record cleaning systems I've looked at and it does the job perfectly.

Does it work? Yes, that's right. He seems to be pretty good at scraping albums together, but that's his only job. For a product this expensive, I would expect it not only to do its job well, but also to be as pain free as possible. But that's not the case. The goat hair brush sheds a lot of hair very quickly, leaving small hairs on a freshly cleaned disc. The bottle of this cleaning solution doesn't have a bad spout, so pouring it onto the disc is a mess almost every time. A bit weird if you…

Having lived with the Nitty Gritty Record Cleaner, which has served me very well for the past 15 years, I can definitely say that this is a step forward. Despite the high price, the build is very solid and well worth the extra money. It does an excellent job cleaning records, and the convenience of spinning records for you is a nice feature that my previous record cleaning machine didn't have. The only downside is the need to purchase an additional 7" cleaning kit, which was not included with…

Admittedly a bit pricey, but if you have a collection that took a little time to assemble and maintain then it's definitely worth the money. For about a year I told myself I'd pull the trigger and get something better than the wringer cleaning I've been using for a number of years now. Wringer cleaning was a decent cleaning option for beginners, but the RCM project with an alcohol-free record cleaning solution is NEXT LEVEL! I'm still developing a regime, but I've had great results with a quick
