  1. Welcome. Both myself and DCL (David) are up the hill from you in Ashe-vegas
  2. If I recall, what I saw under the microscope, the Spin Clean did excellent. Now that is for new vinyl, which I clean before play and mildly dirty vinyl. I'd still tip to US for the nasty stuff. But that is only my opinion
  3. I have several threads on DIY US cleaners as well as some on different cleaning methods before and after under a microscope. Unable to locate those threads right now bc I am at work. Here is the video of mine in action. Works quite well IMO and with some DIY its pretty cheap to build. I know there are several other DIY versions on this BB
  4. I agree with Ray. I did do the microscope test on the SC and it performed quite well. If I recall correctly almost enough for me to not use the DIY ultrasonic setup. Actually, I clean with the US rig first, then use my SC as a rinse then air dry. My biggest issue currently is static, which will soon improve. Carpet, wool socks and me shuffling my feet added to cold temps can send blue flames out my fingertips. It is now common practice for me to discharge before I touch my equipment LOL
  5. After about 1-1/2 years in storage, I've dug out my DIY ultrasonic cleaner and fired the cleaning beast back up. After 30 min cleaning in a distilled water, x-10 and 99% ipa mixture I use the record spin-clean as a rinse cycle with distilled water and just a touch of ipa. For those of you interested, there is a long thread on this when I brought it to life about 3 years ago. Included are microscope before and after.

    Vinyl

    Interesting video DJ. Its cause and effect with me. I can see, feel and hear my vinyl due to my actions. Same could be argued with digital, and digital is what I am currently listening to more at this point of my transient life
  7. For those of you Dead fans, there are quite a few full shows from this leg of Dead & Co on YouTube. Catch them while you can If your not a Dead fan, still worth watching. I've been enjoying them all weekend long. Mayer is doing an excellent job, regardless of his past attitude, or current fashion. Oteil Brubridge is having a great time and it shows. Mickey, Bill and Bob are the best they've sounded in some time IMO, and Jeff Chimenti rounds out the group nicely. Boston night 2 so far is at the top of my list. Paul
