Quentin Wallace you learn something everyday Quintin, thanks for letting us know. Based on that I would therefore say pop down the supermarket 🤓

Yeah de-ionised water for car batteries is pretty cheap. Distilling water yourself is fairly easy too, if a little time consuming.

I love the idea of a brush on the cartridge Dinah, the stacks sound scary though!!😂 thanks for taking the time to check out my channel

Saint Michael hey Saint Michael, thanks for leaving this feedback, so glad you had such a great result ,with classic records👍

@@themediapreacher8154 I clean two records a day and play them. It''s like I've never heard them before. Really.

Saint Michael how did it work out?? Keen to hear how or if it made a difference? Thanks David h

Christian, thanks for the reply; your method sounds easy, simple & hopefully effective. I'd love to hear how much of each ingredient you use; like maybe 90% distilled water, 10% alcohol & a couple drops liquid soap, depending on how much your making? I don't think I'd use Dawn tho because it is so concentrated I suspect you'd have trouble getting it all off the record & it may leave a residue, for better or worse. And then do you air dry it or maybe dry it with like a micro fiber cloth? Thanks in advance for any info.

James Griffiths Hey James, really glad it's working out, I normally give them a scrub with deionised water when they start to show signs of wear, and them get replace every six months or so. The micro fibre clothes and car micro fibre you can pick up cheap at b and m or sometimes the pound shop, so glad this helped out, well chuffed🤓🤓🤗😎

James Griffiths Hi James thanks for the comment man, going to look forward to checking out more of your videos, your work on the night fly taught me a lot I didn't know🤓really really enjoyed watching it today😎

James Griffiths ps the Harris brushes seem to have standard bristles, they are quite soft and have never left any marks for me man, let me know how you get on 🤗🤗

Yeah, will do. I'm going to try your method. Think I can rustle together most of the tools!

James Griffiths cool James, I asked my wife where she got me the clothes brush from she says it was from wilkinsons, have fun 🤗

Tadej Radojčič hey Tadej thanks for checking out my channel, I don’t think it would hurt but the newer records should be fairly clean 🧽

it's passed through a deionizing resin not electric anything RO DI(all di water is first filtered by reverse osmosis) is 0 ppm and the cleanest water you can get.

25% lol, why. Are you a Chemist?

Curt Bradley love it Curt, 100 percent correct!! Thanks for leaving a comment dude!

Yeah, I hav'nt heard or watched anyone on here speak of static? Iv'e not been into vinyl for some time now, but in the 70's I bought a $30 static gun which nowadays goes for near $90. I was thinking snake oil in the 70's, but at $90, i'm calling snake oil, just wash them! LOL

I use scrubbing bubbles for many things that others have raised an eyebrow at. The results speak for themselves. I would have no issue trying it on a dirty record.

Did he say he used soap? He only used water and isopropanol, that will vaporise.

Dawn Bledsoe in Britain a pharmacy is called a “chemist”

My apologies I did not know that

ytrosk ouch, works for me, I go from horrible sounding records to wonderful records which I love playing. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment though my friend👍🎸

This works very good for me too. You don't smear anything. It is wiped off. You know, only dorks spends €3500 on a record cleaning machine.

Jon hi Jon, Quentin pointed this out below, I have been buying deionised water from supermarket since that comment 👍

The Media Preacher Ah no problem good on you. Greetings from Adelaide, Australia.

Jon hey John, the power of the internet, I am amazed that a person on the other side of the world has seen my content!! Waving right back at you 🤓

Bulletz4life uk laws I’m afraid 😡

Cause it’s a part of the fun of the hobby dude😎

Only idiots waste their money on such machines. Heard of audiofools? Snake oil?

@@rabarebra nonsense I have been using a rcm for decades I have solved multiple issues with records to say that a record cleaning machine is snake oil is laughably ridiculous speaking from true ignorance try a cleaning machine before sounding so silly lol purchasing used records a cleaning machine is absolutely essential!

@@MrPompanoman €3500 when it could cost €350 is snake oil. I know they work, but the worth is they think it is, is snake oil. When you can clean your records with distilled water and some iso for a fraction of that amount, I recommend people to do it yourself, other than having a noisy machine going, that you also have to spend huge amount of repair costs too. 1) With machines, you still need to pre-clean the records 2) Repair costs 3) Noise 4) Way too expensive for what it does 5) Results ain't mindblowing, especially not the vaccum cleaner ones or spin-clean (LOL) Manually works just fine! Actually the same as €3500 Ultrasonic cleaners.

@@MrPompanoman You know, Jon, I am a vinyl lover and CD lover and hi-res lover. Vinyl first actually. But I like its low quality. Its low dynamic range, 70dB. Which I find assuming. Hence also why the whole vinyl community is snake-oil. So many audiofools thinks it is the best thing in the world. While it actually is: 1 )Cumbersome, level up the turntable, ridiculously measuring stylus tracking force and tracking angle 2) Stylus wear, only 300-500 hours (MM), and 900-1500 hours (MC). A costy MC stylus say at $1000, wlll cost you $1 to play one hour of music (taking 1000 hours in to account) 3) To set up according to point number 1, having to buy a stylus pressure weight, leveller. Already here $50 out of the window 4) Anti-static brush, $20 5) Buy records, $30-$65 each, some $100. The $30-$65 ones being "audiophile" - which actually is not analog (many of them) - but digitally sourced 6) Trend of record companies re-releasing vinyl records in box sets. 4-5 LP's at over $200. To be precise, the Revolver Super Deluxe Box set cost $250, and are on sale for $239 (here in Norway). You may get $20 per records here (in Norway), if you purchase 3 for $60. They are guaranteed massproduced and digitally sourced. They don't sound bad, but ok. 7) Many records in point number 5) and 6) are produced by GZ Media. Ridiculous pressing plant with many workers that aren't skilled enough to press records - mostly all records are either bowlwarped, edgewarped, or dirty, or all combined. 8) Point number 7) has been proved by feedback from buyers, and also other record companies have told me in conversation that they are steering away using GZ Media, even Optimal Media Gmbh. 9) Surface noise 10) Expensive RIAA 11) Storage - a collection of say 1000-1500 records takes a hell of a lot of space 12) Carefulness. Vinyl is not for everyone. How many customers do you think comes back with broken equipment? MANY 13) Rude salesmen 14) Won't take warped records in return 15) Think they own of the business 16) Saying bowlwarped records is normal (iMusic in Denmark) 17) The list goes on and on and on... 18) Still we love vinyl records 19) Cleaning? 20) Expensive cleaning machines as far up in price as $3500 for ultrasonic cleaners - still same results as using a microfiber cloth and some distilled water+iso spray 21) bla bla bla bla bla bla We love vinyl because of the ALL above. LOL 😂

@@rabarebra such a ignorant comment I'll have to ignore it lol obviously you have never been exposed to high end analog I could prove you wrong all day everyday as could many others.

You must be American

Most US people do not understand.
