Opinions please

I have the SOTA cleaner and it is has been trouble free and it is easily one of the best investments I have made in audio. I use RRL products also and Clio's advice for a zerostat is excellent.

I don't think you can go wrong with a VPI or SOTA. Clean them, LAST them, and get some MO-FI inner sleeves and you are set.

Have Fun.

The VPI is highly-regarded by many here. As for your static issue, you might consider investing in a humidifier. It will significantly reduce the static your experiencing and will also feel better to your nasal passages and lungs.

One cheap and easy fix is to place a "Bounce" dryer sheet next to your equipment and touch it before handling any of your gear or records - it really works.

Save your money and do it by hand. No RCM machine can touch it.

"Save your money and do it by hand. No RCM machine can touch it."

I've never know a single person who gave up a record cleaning machine and returned to hand cleaning. Incredible statement, IMO.

No hand comes close to the Result from a Loricraft or Keith Monks RCM. Save money, you will get a long time Satisfaction.
