Crosley Record Cleaning System
@bdp24 I disagree. Making an unplayable record, not just playable, but quiet and clear is hardly a "superficial" result. 
Crosley Record Cleaning System
@chayro Your observation is correct. I can see some residual water marks on the inside track, but I'm not concerned by this because I can now play and enjoy albums that I have not been able to play in over 30 years and they sound like brand new re...

@tpreaves I believe you are correct that the Spin Clean model was the first to market some 40 yrs ago(?) and is now being cloned. Although Crosley dates back around 90 years, the Crosley of today is a relatively new company.

@bdp24 Believe me this is no joke, and the Crosley is certainly no children’s toy. I did also consider the Record Doctor, but I decided I’d prefer something affordable that cleans both sides simultaneously. I specifically wanted to start this disc...

Geoffkait - I'm embarrassed to admit I'd never before known anything about J. C. Verdier Turntables. This collection of user experiences has been a tremendously illuminating read:http://www.astrasuite.com/astrablog/j-c-verdier-turntable-reviews-1/

Terry9 - LOL FYI - The sorbothane isolation feet have now been decommissioned as they proved to be an exercise in folly. They effectively transformed my TT into a virtual leaning tower of Piza. So, it's back to a clean slate for me.

Thanks lads, you have given me so much to consider. Far more than I anticipated actually, and I know there must be so much more to learn. I'm above all else a music and movie lover and although I'm notorioisly frugal (my mum says "cheap" lol) I ma...

Auxinput - The isolation "washers" appear to be an economical alternative. Thanks!

Gregkohanmim - The solution you've employed is very interesting. Thanks for that idea. 
Are You Sorbothane Experienced?
Gregkohanmim - Thanks; however, that description does not account for the diversity of actual user TT mounting conditions. My TT is virtually mounted on a boat & the built-in isolation solution, although impressively described in MH's propagan...

Lou_setriodes - Thanks. I will consider the Mod Squad Tip Toes.

Auxinput - Thanks. I need/use 40mm (1.575in).
