I have had several RCMs. Loricraft, clearaudio just to mention two. I would clean, clean, clean. I used/tried steam, mult different cleaners and self made cleaners. Four years or so ago we(my wife and I) decided to move. So I decided to sell my entire system, then rebuild once settled in. It was a 20 or so component setup. It was a huge undertaking but would make the move much easier. The only retained items were my realitvily large record collection and my music server. I mostly buy new vinyl now a days. I had already purchase any and everything I wanted from 60's through 2010 or so. While my system has less moving parts then before, I believe it is as good as the best I have ever owned and that is saying something. The only component not replaced is the RCM. As I said I own and buy vinyl. Lots of vinyl. To much vinyl. I do not miss nor do I intend on replacing my RCM anytime in the near future. I clean the vinyl and my cart tip with the appropriate brush. No snap, pop or clicks. Just dead quiet background. This has been my process for the last 4 years. This is my finding. Don't agree no issue.
