Steam cleaning records 2

Stltrains & I stand that some of the remarks posted are out-of-line. Apology or not, it shows a lack of self-respect . Following years of responding truthfully to posts, I'm learning the differences ... If you want to stop for a vist please do so, this Thread is one of the the most popular on AG.

Just don't act like a punk (Ol'English prison slang). That does no good for the health of the Thread.

Hi Mike,
>>> I believe an apology it owed to this thread. <<<

About what? Not steam cleaning and having come to the conclusion a RCM is ones preferred method?
I don't get your apology idea.
But it's also fine to have all steam-cleaners only on the thread keep telling each other how marvellous it all works. Can't see you gonna get another hyper-thread like this one again.
I think the length is at least some sign of not only interest, but a degree of descent about the method too, or?

PS: If this is only about self congratulations, it seems little value added, at least to me.

Axelwahl, an excellent, perceptive post.

Axelwahl i should not have made that statement. What you mention above as a reason is not where i was going with what i said. It was meant for Crem and his harsh reply to Kipdent. And in truth its not my business and my apologies to you Crem.

I dont have a problem with my method of cleaning lps. My vinyl cleaned this way compared to all other methods i've used in this new age of vinyl playback is what drives me to proclaim the advantages of steaming vinyl records.

Of all of the posts here there have been some who would rather use other methods to get the best playback and i say great. We would not improve if descent and negative response were not included in a topic of doing something, like steam cleaning vinyl.

Like i said if steaming is not for you great i'm happy if you are.

dont sweat the small stuff and enjoy your music

Stltrains--thank you for the clarification! I was scratching my head until your last post, especially since I had already apologized to Crem1 after reading his reaction! I agree to each his own about the best way to clean records, and I thank everyone for the learning experience this thread has afforded me. I listen almost exclusively to vinyl as I can barely tolerate digital formats, and I just was trying to share my personal experiences with this technique--that's all.

By the way, does anyone want to pipe in about my question regarding NOT cleaning new vinyl at all as a choice to minimize noise? Any opinions or experiences?
