Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on?

I did read your post. You said that the issue of detritus on a piece of vinyl was exaggerated and that you used a scope on your copy of Tapestry. My point was, in the instances where I buy new vinyl that is 'dirty' it is usually pretty obvious with the naked eye, and doesn't require using a scope. We good?

Sure Whart, if you see something on your record clean it off. Absolutely. Common sense.

I was addressing the notion espoused by some, more than likely originating from makers of LP cleaners, and then repeated by others that there are artifacts left in the grooves from the manufacturing process.

Continuing from my last post..
Stuff does eventually get down into the grooves however and no amount of wiping of the surface will get that.. Thus the need for a good effective LP cleaner.

There is a difference between wiping the dust off the surface with a padded padded velvet covered Discwasher brush and cleaning the record.

If what some have been talking about when you say cleaning a record is using one of those padded velvet brushes on a new LP, I would advise strongly against doing that. That's as clean as that LP surface is ever going to be.. I just blow off anything that might be on there for as long as possible without ever touching the surface with that brush or anything else. I do use one of those padded velvet brushes occasionally, but only as a last resort and after the LP having been played many times.

If you think that tiny diamond tip maybe catching one or two pieces of lint is capable of causing problems, think about what problems you're causing by dragging that big wide padded velvet brush over the entire new pristine surface, under a great deal more pressure than 1.75 grams, and that is still embedded with all the stuff from every LP you've ever wiped with it. No matter how much you think brushing it off on your pant leg cleans it off.
