Yo-

I'm not real hip with these VPI machines etc. Someone put me up on game about how they work, how much more or less they are effective then typical hand cleaning techniques, and some other companys that make machines like the VPI that are good, but not quite as expesnive (if thats even possible).

I use groove glide. $25-30 a can. Works quite well on vinyl and CDs

^I'm not looking for typical cleaning products. I'm looking for machines that suck out dust from the grooves with vaccum suction etc.

Gruv-Glide is my shit for everyday use.
Groovy Cleaner is for the serious grime.

I was wondering about the same thing a while ago and a few people suggested this one:

a mentor of mine is a big audiophile and he swears by that VPI machine.

How much have you seen it for????

Most of the cleaning machines I've seen go for around $400 or more.

The Record Doctor ll is $150-$200 (it says the price in the link that I posted...). According to a lot of audiophiles, it is the most highly recommended low-price record cleaning machine...

^Yo daps to you my *****. This thing looks interesting. I might try it out. I would cop a VPI if I could find the 16 series model, but theirs non on EBay and I don't know where else to look for them. The new model is like a G, I don't give a fu*k about vinyl THAT much.

Yeah, I might get one too eventually...
