In-the-Grove lp cleaner

I just got this gizmo. My 2 paise worth. It's not a general purpose cleaner but IMHO extremely useful for a first time clean of brand new sealed and garage sale records . IME all new LPs have a fine layer of micro dust clearly visible with a LED or CFL light. I tend to use a Mo Fi felt pad to gather the dust in one place with a clockwise and anti clockwise motion and then use the gizmo to remove the dust. DO NOT use it on records if they are OTW dust free. Ditto for a first time clean of garage sale LPs.
At current exchange rates my 2 paise is way less than 0.2 cents !!

Pradeep,
You and I said the same thing in different words... similar methods and results. Your post is worth at least $.03!!!

Hi Doug
Good to hear from you. You just devalued me and my currency by 300%!! Lol

I never was any good at math. Do I have to return the elephant? ;-)

Well I might as well report my experience with it. I did receive it, but took precautions not to use it on a quality LP to test it. I tried an older, dirty LP, which I listened to beforehand, many pops, ticks, etc. I used this new gizmo, I didn't notice that it left any residue that I could see, but it was very sticky while using it. I was hopeful that this was picking up lots of stuck residue and grunge.

Afterwards I listened again and I could tell no audible difference. Certainly not anymore noise, as Clio09 suggests, but no less noise either. I did clean my stylus after use. My experience would not lead me to try it any further, though I did not throw it away. It says is works to clean plasma screens too, so I may give it a try there. To me, if it does not improve things, I don't want to risk using it if it is possible that it could leave a residue which I cannot see, but may build up on the stylus. I'll stick with my carbon fiber brush for dry cleaning.
